The Weekends Other Games

No there will need to be a massive amount of improvement. But if you invest 47m odd, its where you have to be looking.

My worry would be not sorting out the very obvious areas of concern. A midfielder to control a game can be added to the left back and centre back issues. Two of those three are key areas. It is difficult because McClaren has made it clear he wants to skip the middle bit and go for top 8 players. That means waiting. In the meantime we have players in certain areas who can really handicap you. The other options is buy middle bracket players who will improve us but will then need replaced to move on another stage.

I can see the thinking but we do run the risk of dicing with death. Again.

 

Anyone see Shaw's tackle on Ayew today? Stamped on his shin. Looked way worse than Mitro's yesterday. Didn't even get a card and the commentator just glossed over it "I'm sure he didn't mean it" ****in hate Manyoo and sky
