winding down in life.
was proper fucking wasted, i feared as much at the time, now we are holding on to the coat tails of the top 4 by our finger nails, add the cup to that too.
if we were skint i'd understand but we are not. hughes went because of us leaking goals that reduced wins to draws, look now, we are fucking worse, changing the manager has done fuck all for our season, i understand why we had to make a change but ffs look whats wrong on the pitch not on the training ground. we have players who will not take us to a cl place, we had the chance to address that and did'nt.

fucking criminal if you ask me.
 
We did get rid of Weiss who could have come on for Petrov too, just when their full backs were ot vulnerable.

So much for Cook's accelerated transfer strategy. If Hughes went because of it then Cook should now go as he has failed to implement it.

Absolutly! Which tells me Mancini is a dead man walking.

So which TOP CLASS players - as opposed to average Prem standard players - were available in January, because I didn't see many moving at all.

No point signing more average players for the hell of it.
 
Absolutely 100% correct!

The transfer window was the perfect chance to just add the bit extra we needed and we didnt do it!

Why?

Because Mancini is not and never will be the man that ADUG want.

I was one of Hughes biggest critics but Bill is right, we might as well have just let him carry on if it was always going to be the case that we wasnt going to back Mancini with the money.

Yes we got Johnson and a very good prospect the lad looks but that is all we got. Vieira only getting 6 months like his boss says it all im afraid and he is not our future.

Lets all hope and pray that we can get in the top 4 as it is critical to our future plans.

couldwe take weiss back for cup game to replace johnson different wings i know but do rules allow it
 
I really am not confident of getting a result in the second leg. Why? because a place like Stoke is exactly where our tactics will not work. We needed a energetic dominant midfielder and a new fullback. We got neither

If there's a recall clause we could get him back but he couldn't go back to Bolton.

Weiss isnt ready yet, hence why he went out on loan.
 
The only thing that makes sense to me is the 6 month probation period. That would explain why we were trying to do loan deals for that period and nothing more.

You'd think with our resources we wouldn't need to scrimp for 6 months and instead we'd buy the players the manager we installed required, or even begin buying the palyers our long term manager required.
 
We've never replaced Elano where short of attacking midfielders. dont think we've had a settled defense all season if we can keep our defenders injury free i reckon we will finish top 4 with the squad we have now.

Only PV on loan, we have signed Johnson and tried to sign Mariga who were both long term.

Just posted this in another thread re the defence, Richards..Kompany..Lescott... Bridge, injury free would get us in the top 4.
