Hear what you’re saying, but those 5 are all BAD investments.
Of course, the club has to handle carefully to mitigate losses, but I honestly cannot see how we could get a positive outcome from any of them.
None of them are going up from here. The only way is down & there won’t be any club...
The cup disgrace has changed my opinion on this window completely.
Had we accepted Klopp’s gift & been in the 4th round, I was desperate for us to really go for it with statement signings. “Hames” on loan etc.. & go all out to win the Cup.
Now I’d prefer we take a more considered long term...
Up to a few weeks ago I was certain we needed 5 quality signings to even challenge for 6th/7th. Which of course wouldn’t have been possible in a Jan window.
All of a sudden I think 2 in (CM & CB) & Carlo will get us in that top 6.
Sigurdsson, Tosun, Walcott, Schneiderlin, Niasse, Steklenberg off the pay role.
Zlatan, Bale, Koulibwhatshisname & a world class holding MF in.
That’ll do for Jan.
