The injury situation would not seem so serious had we spent the £60 million that we paid for Benteke and Sakho on 6 players of the ilk of Luka, Tomkins or PVA to provide better quality cover through the squad. All of this years summer budget went on Sakho leaving us with only one striker and no credible goalkeeper!

If not him or them then it shows we have the money for elsewhere. The keeper in both windows. Next excuse please.

SP has been brilliant for us and only has the club at heart, of that I have no doubt. He has made bad mistakes, but don't we all. I promise all these on here we could do a great deal worse than have somebody who loves the club as much as we do. Having said all this he should seek more professional help when it comes to serious football matters.

It wasn't meant to be humorous it was making a point of we should be grateful for what we have rather than stretching for something we are not , we was a championship team and now we are a bottom half Premier team which in reality is acceptable if you spend within your means , so as fans we need to be content with what we have got rather than trying to be something we are not .....which is a top six team Originally posted by Midlands Eagle
Your attempt at a humorous analogy falls flat on two counts. Firstly it isn't very funny and secondly our problems aren't down to money. If the media are correct we had enough money to buy a goalkeeper but didn't as we left it too late. We also had enough money to buy a defensive midfielder but didn't and we also had enough money to buy one or two others but didn't. The money wasn't the problem. It was not spending it that was

Ok. We had money to sign a striker to back up the single one we had. Both went on to play well and score. If not them then buy elsewhere. Or would you prefer Campbell? Parish does. Still didn't sign a keeper. You have no intention to accept any middle ground. Either bankruptcy or championship football is your standpoint. Don't ever take out a loan.

All i want is for us to get our transfers sorted early instead of leaving it until the last day & running out of time. If we stay up & i think we will then we need to get organized for the summer. Think we'll need 6-7 players.

You'll have an excuse for that and if Hennessy gets injured in any of the next 10 games. Bankruptcy would be inevitable or something. One thing you fail to acknowledge is no other clubs anywhere under prepare or leave our manager fighting an army with a stick and a few conkers.

And you can argue that having few selections causes more injuries, plus no competition for Benteke contributes to his g@sh performances, whether lazy or staying injury free or both.
