It's eertainly not dismissive, everybody acts differently in conferences thats just how AVB does. On another note though I saw this on the train a while ago, and took a photo. Even with defensive frailties and lapses it's quite clear that a good, confident striker; with help from a few team mates, can give us 3 points instead of 1 or 0 on their day. I hope we do invest in a good winger like Hazard (idk about the price anymore) a creative midfielder that can jump right into first team action (Modric) and perhaps a striker like Pato. If we do end up getting rid of Drogba and Anelka we would need a replacement - Pato may be a risk in terms of injury worries but he is explosive when he plays. He plays like the legendary Ronaldo and I would bank on him making an Aguero like impact if he joined. Unlike Cavani and Gomes I think Gallani said they may actually have to cash in on him this year, even though they've always said they never will. If they do end up going for Drogba, Anelka or Tevez we should definitely try and snap him up ASAP. AVB really needs to reinvigorate our squad in the January window but shouldn't panic buy.
