We have our list, FDJ looks set on Barca (if they can get the funds) and Ndombele must be off limits till the summer and Pep just must feel there is no one else out there to go for.
Surely a loan signing of Robbie Savage would be better than present?We have our list, FDJ looks set on Barca (if they can get the funds) and Ndombele must be off limits till the summer and Pep just must feel there is no one else out there to go for.
I would go for anyone, we need another body but it doesn't look likely unfortunately.Surely a loan signing of Robbie Savage would be better than present?
Yep think weve hade it with no cover gonna drop more points.Sometimes a signing lifts the team . I have massive faith in pep and he will sort this out but to discount any signings In January is a major fuck up and it will backfire .
The opportunity obviously isn't there, unless you've been told that one of our targets is up for sale next month? We're not going to buy just for the sake of itMadness.
Why try to sign in Summer and then not even try when the opportunity (and motive) is there for us to buy in January?
We desperately need another body in midfield.
Unless we have some financial restrictions that we as fans don’t know about, to not even try to strengthen when the need is so abundantly clear, is very disappointing and dare I say arrogant. In the sense that we are assuming that in summer our ‘primary’ targets will just agree to sign. We’ve had our fingers burnt before both by that assumption and by not strengthening sufficiently following a title win. I think we’ve underestimated the need to replace Yaya, and the Mendy transfer has been a disaster due to his inability to stay fit. It’s like having Santa Cruz for lb. Mahrez has underwhelmed as well and was never imo going to be better than Sterling or sane. Come on Pep have a word, you must be hurting as much as we are seeing those scouse twats threatening to out do everything achieved last season.Yep think weve hade it with no cover gonna drop more points.
"Absolute madness", or simply circumstances ? We clearly went in for two, Jorghino, who knew his current manager was going to Chelsea, so understandably followed him there, and Fred, and nothing suggests we missed out there so far. So do you think we should have just brought someone in who we hadn't targetted ?What we needed was a backup for/successor to Fernandinho. Absolute madness that we did not get one in the Summer when the writings were on the wall.
