Every fucking team bar Madrid and Barca are if you judge their teams on paper and look at certain games.
I think our squad is ok as is. Yes we need some reinforcements but only because we have lost a few players so require squad players.
You can't expect to keep buying world class players and not having anyone who will accept a squad role.
We were very bad today and missing 3 key players and Liverpool played at their very maximum with everyone bar Agger and we still managed a draw.
Heaven forbid this forum if we had lost.
If you want to compare your squad with Madrid and Barca then they have double the amount of world class players you have.
Casilllas, Pepe, Contrao, Alonso, Ozil, Ronaldo, Benzema, Modric, Higuan. You can even make an argument for Ramos at right back and Marcelo at left back.
Barca on the other hand have near the same number. Alves, Pique, Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta, Messi, Villa and Fabregas. This is ignoring the likes of Pedro and Sanchez.
Or look at Bayern they have Neuer, Lahm, Schweinsteiger, Ribery, Robben and Gomez.
To catch up with the first two is very difficult. Not saying you cannot beat them, but they have better squads and teams.
I would say you still only need 3 players. A very good promising young winger, a world class midfielder and a better partner for Kompany. Those three signings and then allowing De Jong to go would make a world of difference on the season.
