pathetic january, several players unavailable for different reasons, yet we don't sign anyone?
why not? we have the most money in the world, unlimited really. our squad was clearly designed to have 4 strikers, yet 1 striker has gone awol but we don't sign another? (tevez 1 - 0 city)
we knew we were gonna miss yaya, yet don't sign another midfielder till the last day, when he is nearly back. and even this striker probably will achieve fuck all
we have NO wingers in our squad. We have no pace in the team, apart from our fullbacks (and aguero and balotelli, but they don't do the job of a winger).
all these problems would be solved by signing 1/2 players for a few million in this window. yes there is FFP, but fuck the rules, we had the best possible chance of winning the league yet have not capitalised. i don't think we will win the league based on our january business.
we are falling apart, yet it seems to be the aim of the board to meet the rules rather than win the league. i'd hate to think its the sheikh, and can't see it, so i guess it must be khaldoon/marwood or a combination of board members.
at the end of the season we may have conceded the title to united, but hey ho, at least we are less likely to fall foul of some shitty rules
