So if we're not in the race after Christmas we shouldn't be looking to strengthen the squad? Is this because you think Rafa will be sacked if we don't win it this year, and he shouldn't be allowed to spend money in January if a new manager is to take over?

no i think if we're still in the title race at xmas who we spend our money on should be to help us push on and win it. if we're out of it by then we're more likely to buy someone who can develop over time.

i reckon if we're in the race he'll buy a proven right sided attacker or a traditional no 10 playmaker and if we're out of the race maybe a fullback for the future or a central midfielder that might come through next season.

hope that clarifies my position for u.

I think it would make more sense for our team to buy proven quality, one or two players, in every window for the next two years, whether we are in the race or not. Our squad has enough strength in depth, it doesn't have a lot of old players, and we already have a few young players who can develop into first team material. Darby, Nemeth, El Zhar, Insua among others.

See your point though

completely agree with that. let me give u an example of my biggest fear. say we're in the mix at xmas inspite of lacking that extra bit of creativity. we're all crying out for an attacking option and we go and buy a centre back and another central midfielder. how pissed would u be?

As I can't be sure exactly what is happening on the "inside" I am very careful about criticising the management whatever their decisions. What may seem obvious to me, can mean something completely different to the people working at the club day in day out.

For example, maybe the right attacking option isn't available, would you want us to spunk out 10 mill on a player 75% up to standard, or wait maybe 6 months and spend it on a player which the management feels is 100% right for us? There are a lot of things to take into consideration in every decision, and there isn't a big margin for errors. If you buy the wrong attacking option in January, you may disrupt the squad and we could end up worse than we would have been if we didn't buy that player. Just an example.
