My worry is Roberto will walk away end of season, its a poision chalice of a job as it stands.
The squad, despite costing £300 million or more is poor, average players, carring long term injuries, or near the end of a top class carear.............the truth is numpty pissed the money away, with the exception of Tevez and Adie.........and Bellamy bearing in mind his knee problems,
There will be presure from the off next year.........and we have no team, and no backbone in place to build one onto.
We could come up with a decent goalie if we recall Hart, have we a rock to build a defence round?........Lescotte?, dont think so.
Where is the midfield leader, the playmaker?.........we may luck out IF Michael Johnson gets fit, thats the box to box engine room sorted, Barry might scrape bye as the holding player.............still no creative* playmaker.
Up front we have more than enought firepower, Johnson looks to be a great prospect, Adie and Tevez go well, Bellamy a real handfull when fit..............Crocky santa clause and SWP wont be missed and their replacments can hardly do a worse job.
So would you chance your reputation on being able to buy the players you NEED, and for them to hit the ground running from the off, with the world media waiting with the knives out ready?
*Creative does not mean Stevie Ireland, though he could be called creative at times, he could best be descibed as a f*cking liabillity for most games where he interprates " When we dont have the ball mark your player" into " You just have a bit of a jog stevie, just point at who your suposed to mark if you feel you must do something"
