if man city could attract players last season, why not us?
we just had a very bad season, and i dont expect next season to be tht way...
there is no way we are a mid table british team....we just had a bad season...
As much as we dont want to admit it finishing seventh is mid table for me and lets be brutaly honest if the season had carried on for another two weeks then Everton would of finished higher and we would of been eighth. I would'nt look to much into the season before when we finished second that was a one off a freak season which every team has from time to time, under Benitez we have failed in every season except that one to even be in contention in the league after xmas. Man City could'nt attract the top players could they without champions league, thats why the likes of Kaka said no and there enquiry for Messi never got off the floor, City done the right thing and bought tried and tested british type players to get them a top six finish, Toure, Lescott,Barry, Adeybayour,Johnson and Tevez, once they get into the top four probably this season they will sign a better calibre again to make the next step up. I can only see Liverpool maintaining a top six finish myself with hopefuly a wembley appearances for the foreseable future with the way things are and how far backwards we are moving both on and off the pitch
