The style of play has improved from the bog standard style of Allardyce, but the truth is that we are still only performing at the same level as Bournemouth, Leicester, West Ham, Brighton and Watford. So I really don't understand why some people think we don't need to strengthen in January.
I think it's absolutely imperative to strengthen in January because most of the average clubs in our peer group will do so, never mind the elite, who will no doubt put even further distance between us and them.
I dont agree that we should be bending over backwards to sign Gomes in January either, not when we already have him on loan for the full season. If there is going to be 30/40 million pound + spent this January then it should be going on forwards imo.
