i really do hope that we will invest in january. we'll certainly need it if we're gonna push for a top 4 spot.
im beginning to get some doubts though about kenny's and comolli's ability to take the right decisions on the transfer market. 35m for a striker that gets 4 minutes here and there...there's simply no words to describe it. i'm still one of few though who's got belief in andy but he needs to play on a regular basis. 16m for hendo and 19m for downing is two other deals that there should be high questionsmarks over.
will the owners be willing to give kenny and comolli more money to spend in january? i certainly hope so but i would understand if thy're beginning to get a bit worried on what kind of players the money is spent on..
a real proven world class striker and a creative midfielder/winger should be the priority. i just hope we can find some who's willing to join us ahead of other clubs...
A fair post, though I'm fairly happy with Downing and Henderson.
The thing is we're purchasing for value and talent, not just talent. Henderson cost around 15-20m. Seems excessive, but really, all he has to do is have a half decent season and at his age, he'll be worth 15-20m. So it's not viewed as a loss. Downing is a bit older, but I'm confident someone would buy him for over 10m any time we want. Again a decent season and he's not lost any value. Carroll has lost a lot of value. What's he worth now at a guess? 10-15m?
I dont' think the owners will be worried about spending when the value is going to still be there, but I think they will worry about making any more crazy Kenny signings like Carroll.
