Again, I only partially agree, Rafarendum. We need 4 top quality players at the minimum to fill the holes. But the problem is that several of our current first choices are barely squad quality. For everyone of them we need to buy two players. While I don't for a moment doubt that said 4 players will help us get back into the top 4, winning the title is another kettle of fish altogether. Get hit by injuries again as we currently are, and we're fielding the same side that can't pass (by my assessment) and are short of goals (by your assessment). Simple example: Man U's CBs, which is hardly their strongest position, has Vidic, Ferdinand, and Smalling as quality players. We have injury-prone Agger, aging Carra, can't defend Skrtel, and penalty-prone Greek. We need 2-3 new players in this position alone if we want to mount a sustained challenge for the title rather than just be able to beat Man U at home. And don't get me started on fullbacks.
