"this is about what I would have done. It ends up being a big gamble on Adebayor, but I don't know of another top striker we could have gotten"
Nope, I'll stick with what I said, (minus my hedging remarks!) and the vote for "Yep! Over the moon. Levy is the man!!"
For January, I'd love
a suitable replacement for Ade. They've been scoring a goal a game more, and much of that is down to him. Though it's just possible 'Arry can get Pav to play this role. The key for Pav, of course, is that he actually effing runs around a bit.
another good holding mid. The best lineup, I think, uses both Sandro and Parker, so if either gets hurt, it's a big step down.
Probably another CB, though this all depends on King's knees. If he's able to play most games, or even half, him plus Gallas and Kaboul is pretty ideal. If he's out for a while, another CB could make all the difference, especially since Gallas is injury prone.
