How bad will it be if we don't strengthen the squad in this window ?

A few weeks back I was pretty worried about where we were at in terms of squad strength, am now more sanguine.

 

Need some cover at centre-back, but that could possibly be done via loans. Am assuming that Fonte-Yoshida will be the preferred partnership for the remaining 18 matches, but we're pretty light if either pick up an injury or suspension. Seems to me we would have to spend big to get someone good enough to displace Jose or Maya in the starting eleven. Open minded on this, but it would mean disrupting what's developed into a very good CB pairing.

 

Goalkeeper? Hmm. I think Adkins has ruled this out anyway. None of our current 3 first choice keepers fill me with confidence, but am not sure that someone like Butland makes us £6m better. I'd be tempted to right off Boruc, whose head seems to be in the wrong place, and bring in someone of similar age on a similar deal (mid-30s, experienced keeper until end of season).

 

I can't really imagine us having the cash available to buy better players than we currently have in midfield or up front. But then I was of the view that the Ramirez stuff was fantasy, so what do I know?

I thought squad strengthening was supposed to be a nailed-on certainty in this window ?

 

Very bemused this thread has been started. Sounds like some of you are preparing yourselves for disappointment...

 

If we do not strengthen in key areas it can only mean we have no money to do it.

 

Either that, or we REALLY ARE GOING FOR THE YOYO STRATEGY.

 

Remember it was the Dalek that called this first !

Another post will the sole purpose of being argumentative.

I'm sure we will buy someone in the last couple of days of the window, why all clubs do this is beyond me, they should be lining potential targets in December, so we can get the full benifit of them in January, its like clubs forget there is a window, then realise in the last week

Personally I'm more concerned with how we are going to pay for all these countless extra players you seem desperate for us to sign. Let's get a few out the door shall we?

 

I agree with you

 

Thats the problem is it not if we get rid of them and get relegated we will have to build a team again
