It's that time of year when the transfer window is open, players are supposedly available, teams know what the season offers or potentially threatens with the right or wrong changes, whether they be player, managerial, tactical or collective attitude.
I like others glance at the transfer rumours, and am happy Bonny has arrived, however I don't for one moment see our lapse in form fixed by a signing.
I don't even think a dramatic change in Manager could be a fix, and simply put, who is better than what we have who is available?
For me what we need is a dramatic improvement in cohesive on field attitude and on field leadership. Now for me, this is the flaw in Vincent Kompany. Nice guy, great role model, but cannot drag his team by shear force of personality to places they don't want to go.
If only he had the terror of an Andy Morrison, Dave Watson or Mike Doyle, then I think we would not have got rolled over by Arsenal or Boro.
He's just too nice a guy and mostly almost mute to be on field captain, and therefore I believe the single change that could have the biggest impact on our performances is to consider making Zabaleta the on field captain, and to make it more effective consider playing him next to Kompany as a centre half or in front as our defensive midfielder.
