There is life after 11pm tonight. Honestly? Ha Ha
My thoughts have already turned to the next 14 games and what this will bring for the club. Top 6? Top 7?
Liverpool have to be considered slight favourites for the 6th spot or even better now after their investments today but there is no guarantee of this. Whatever happens, if Arsenal win win the Carling Cup and say Man Utd, Arsenal, Spurs or Chelsea contest the FA Cup final (presuming that they all finish in the top 4) , then as I understand the European places could go down to 7th place? Is that correct?
If that was so, we could still have a slip and go into Europe in 7th. What would this mean?
Personally, I'd like to see the summer transfer revolve around the permanent deals for Nedum (maybe a bid of ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã8m would get him) and Danny. I still think SAF would be tempted but after his recent comments, I think it would take a bid of around ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã10m - ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã12m to wet his appetite and Sir Alex will need funds to buy himself in the summer.
Add a permanent deal for Mensah and Muntari and that would do for me. I'm still not sure about Muhammady but another 12 month loan deal wouldn't be a bad deal overall. We don't necessarily have to scour the planet for players when what we need is right in front of us already. Welbeck is a perfect age, played well with Gyan previously this term and is a good team player.
So, forget silly money January and concentrate on sensible August IMO.
Keep the Faith and FTM
