I remember last summer, Mancini saying all Dzeko needed was service from the wings to reproduce his form for Wolfsburg...we then had a misalignment in the messages from Mancini and Marwood, the former talking about needing to bring in six players and the latter talking about selling players and bringing in 'one or two'.
I wonder now whether the ownership wanted to use this season to evaluate the quality of the squad and determine whether it was good enough to win the title, or whether they genuinely thought we could win the title with the current squad.
I find it interesting that Mancini was reportedly in Lille to watch Eden Hazard at the weekend and again wonder whether he will get his wish this summer and the purse strings will be loosened....afterall he could argue that losses at swansea, everton etc were the result of being short on the players he wanted to bring in during the close season.....and don't forget Herman and several other players will be moved on in june...
The upshot is, does (potentially) not winning the title mean we will be spending £150 mill rather than £50 mill ?
Imo we are short on 4 players. Cover for Yaya (box to box player who can be a DM as well as an AM), left and right wingers (out and out), and a world class centre back to play alongside Vinny.
Thoughts ?
