Can you imagine what uncle fester would have done if we won the CL? I can hear it now "We have a squad full of champions, no need to strengthen, blah blah blah."
We desperately need a WC midfielder (or two) and it feels like we're searching in the bargain bin. I truly hope someone WC arrives, as there is still time, but I am getting worried....
Barcelona's decision to splash more and more cash on the market isn't influenced by smart management, it's influenced by pride and need to compete with Real.
Both of these teams are deeply in dept, and I think this was their last summer to make crazy purchases before FPP, so they decided to take advantage of it.
I hope FPP when kicks in, comes back to haunt their asses.
The problem is this, you can't be the big winners (domestic, CL, etc.) without going into debt. Whether FFP changes things we shall see but looking now in 2011 debt is part of the game.
