Title: Do we need a large spend in January...
Post by: Ludo on November 05, 2014, 22:31:00
...or do we stick it out to the end of the season.

It's pretty obvious that a number of players in the squad aren't good enough to take us to the next level, or perhaps they just don't fit into Pellegrini's way of playing. Either way this season's been a bit of a disappointment; a poor defence of the Carling Cup, inconsistency in the league and abysmal in Europe.

So is it stick or bust.

Is it Pellegrini's way of playing or is it the Holistic thingy way????If we got a new boss would he be told we play 4-4-2 and nothing else?Is Pelli under orders?

January isn't the best time to buy as most good players are not around.

We can't spend big in January or they will ban us from Europe . Now that would be a shame wouldn't it?? Personally I couldn't be arsed but I suppose we'd lose some players if we weren't in it.

We do need to spend a bit in January but we should be doing better than we are with the current players too. In fact we should be doing a lot better.

Leave the Jan panic buys to the rags - most top players will still be in the CL.

Can we recall some of our on-loan players in January?

No.

We need to sort out this mess first then buy players in the summer. The manager needs to assert his authority on under performing players as a must do now task.

Absolutely this. Although if an opportunity came to sell a player and replace with better I'm sure the club will take it. Would love to see some youngsters blooded
