Ok fair enough, I just noticed you'd been a bit agitated on here of late *handshakey*
People seem to be taking it for granted these days that everyone should buy in January. United bought because they had to, because they've been so shit, it gives Moyes more time and it had to be done because they've been so poor. Chelsea sold Mata, which funded Salah and Zouma (who they don't get till the Summer anyway) they brought back Matic but have always had the capacity to spend (what's new?), City have bought no one (not that they need to), Spurs have bought no one, Arsenal have brought in a loanee (and missed out on loads of targets again), Everton have brought in no one.
Like I said, if people want to criticise something, criticise that we're not scouting for gems that won't be pounced upon by the big guns, there's no point in us going head to head with Chelsea and City, because we'll more often than not lose out to financial and European Football pulling power - by the same token we spend in the tier that contains Spurs and Arsenal, two clubs in the capital who are in Europe.
FSG have proven they are full of shit? Go and look at what we've spent, at the commercial deals we're bringing in to pay dividends further down the line, people seriously need to get a grip and have a dose of perspective. We nearly went under 4 years ago, we've spent big since then and got back in the thick of it, did people expect a title and a conveyor belt of £30m signings?
Get real.
Don't mean to come across as a stressed out twat, just can't help being pissed off with the things already mentioned, ill wind my neck in after ive replied to your post.
You say get real but all you seem to be doing is sticking your head in the sand and going all ott whilst ignoring whats actually happened.
'did people expect a title and a conveyor belt of £30m signings?' - really? of course not, who does?, what i do expect is the suits to give the manager as much help as possible to achieve our (and their supposed) goal of CL football, even more so with the massive opportunity we have found ourselves in, we should of been going all out to make sure the manager got what he wanted, is that really asking to much?
I don't know why you or anyone brings what our rivals have done into it, its out of our control and really has nothing to do with us what they do in the transfer market, what we are in control of is ourselves and we should be or should of been focussed on maximising our chances of CL football this window but instead we have done nothing.
'Like I said, if people want to criticise something, criticise that we're not scouting for gems that won't be pounced upon by the big guns'
Why? whats that got to do with us screwing this window up and handicapping instead of increasing our chances of CL?, scouting unearthed gems is another subject altogether, we needed players to help us right now.
'there's no point in us going head to head with Chelsea and City'
We rarely do, we were not up against anyone for Kono, we weren't exactly head to head against Chelsea for Salah, we were in there well before them and if we hadn't of been so inept we would of had Salah before Chelsea even had the chance to come in for him.
FSG have proven they are full of shit?
Yep, if they really wanted CL football like we were led to believe they would of gotton things done in this window, maybe even pushed the boat out a bit because of where we are in the league, instead we sign nobody and leave it all on Rodgers to peform his miracle, massive pile of bullshit for me, can't believe it really, they might well get lucky but if we don't then i expect more people will realise they are indeed full of shit, this is the season where it has to happen, can't help but fear we wont get a better chance for quite some time, thats whats so frustrating.
One of the rare times i haven't agreed with whatever you have said on here.
