I don't understand why both can't be true. Since the treble our signings have been mixed. We have the midfield issues now because of those windows.It’s incredible how many people are wise after the event. If we win the Champions League this year it will be brilliant, just like it was two years ago
Pretty sure it is the priority,but getting a top midfielder in January is surely the hardest transfer out of anyThe midfielder has to be the priority.
I'm not okay with the right back situation really and if we can get in Cambiasso then great.
If not, It'll be interesting to see how we get on without Walker.
Even though he was declining, i would still want him in my team for the big games, like the arse this weekend for instance! He would shut down Martinelli...(i wonder who's going to be marking him now?!)
But, we do have players who can cover that position, and i think i'd leave Nunes there for now anyway...
But in the middle, if Gundo or Kovacic go down, we're fucked!
I will put literally everything I own apart from my cat on us not winning the champions leagueIf we win the Champions league this season does that mean last summers window was brilliant?
We won’t get any near it with our current midfield optionsIt’s incredible how many people are wise after the event. If we win the Champions League this year it will be brilliant, just like it was two years ago

So there's a chance?I will put literally everything I own apart from my cat on us not winning the champions league
I remember watching a video once that made Samaras look like a steal at 6m.

You mean this one
There is also an argument that we should have won the CL last season and for me in the end that defeat against Madrid gave us the PL title.It’s incredible how many people are wise after the event. If we win the Champions League this year it will be brilliant, just like it was two years ago
In all seriousness, IF we get through tonight not many teams will look forward to facing us.So there's a chance?

I would say being top of the league and being qualified for the knockouts before the last group game in CL is doing significantly better than being 12 pts (with one game more played) from first and being outside of the knockout spots with 1 game to go in CL.Would you bet against Real Madrid winning it? They're hardly doing that much better than us at the moment.
Perhaps but it's now basically a straight knockout competition, league positions (for us at least, presuming we win tonights 'knockout' game) are immaterial.I would say being top of the league and being qualified for the knockouts before the last group game in CL is doing significantly better than being 12 pts (with one game more played) from first and being outside of the knockout spots with 1 game to go in CL.
Real Madrid is winning all their games ?? What comparison is that ?If we get through tonight, all bets are off. With key players coming back, others finding their mojo, Pep getting a few distractions behind, and a couple new faces giving us a lift and rest time, I wouldn't bet against us. Worse teams than ours have won it, a bit of luck here and there and it is hardly fantasy territory.

CL group stage is all about getting through to the knockouts, I agree. And as long as we are in it we of course CAN win it, it's just very unlikely given how we have played for several months. My post was just answering someone claiming that Real Madrid is having a somewhat similar season to ours when they are, unlike us, on course to have a very successful season.Perhaps but it's now basically a straight knockout competition, league positions (for us at least, presuming we win tonights 'knockout' game) are immaterial.

I would argue being qualified with 1 game to go is a lot better than being outside of the knockout positions with 1 game to go.Not in the CL. Which was what the discussion is about ffs.
