    Has anyone else got that January sinking feeling as well?

    Sorry to sound defeatist but I really feel that we will not bring a striker in who will guarantee goals at this level or anyone else for that matter. In fact I think we are more likely to sell than buy or even bring loans in.

    How come an extremely successful double billionaire businessman still hasn't got a fkn clue after 10 yes 10 years of owning our club know how to speculate to accumulate ie get better players in to improve our chances of staying up and guarantee selling the club that he (apparently, but is becoming less likely with each passing day) says he now wants to sell for a huge profit? If we don't strengthen then I think he will show he doesn't give a flying feck whether he sells or not, preferring to get the buzz he clearly gets from gambling with the good of our club at stake AGAIN.

    If we don't strengthen then I think we'll go down. Rafa can only do so much with what he's got and it's remarkable that we're not adrift already-shows how well he's done.

    But, the pattern has been set-under-investment followed by relegation and i don't think the end result will be any different this time although the ramifications could be much, much worse. We can't afford to let anyone go (apart from Mitro as Rafa simply won't play him and we need to spend decent money on a striker asap.

    He's gambling. He's betting that we've got just enough to survive.

    I think he's wrong.

    I agree - I think he has finally learnt that the club needs to spend to stay in the PL and I see it as a positive sign that he isnīt spending now.

    I think he's wrong to.

    If we went down, we don't have any major saleable assets this time either - which says what level our squad is at really.

    I think we'll get a striker, i just hope he is one who can score 15+ goals in half a season. Or to be honest, i'd take him only scoring 7 if they won us games and guaranteed us 21 more points.
