zolayes 14,489 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 We had to spend big to get to the position we're in. Now that we're there, we dont need to go out singing left right and centre. We have a very solid squad and as long as we continue to tweek it every now and then, there's no reason why we cant compete for the title for the forseeable future.If a top player does become available and he'll be an asset to the squad, I dont see why we wouldnt shell out for him....ie...Torres. Drogba and Anelka will have to be replaced in time, so I wouldnt be surpried if we did try for a "marquee" striker over the next few seasons.:goodpost: I now feel quite pleased we didnt sign Neymar. Didnt particulary want Benyaoun but he might be right tweak we needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aesthetic Relic 301 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 :goodpost: I now feel quite pleased we didnt sign Neymar. Didnt particulary want Benyaoun but he might be right tweak we neededSturridge looks like he'll keep improving and be a big player for us in the years ahead. I'm expecting big things from him.As for Yossi, the main reason CA went for him is that he's a disciplined player and will do a job for the team. He may not be a flare player, but he will give stability to the team. Its a team game afterall and not about individuals, which Man City will find out this weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badboy 1,526 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I agree i would question if neymar would do any better than what sturridge is doing ? every time danny starts he scores also he has anelka like movement ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EskWeston 696 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Previously we had to rebuild our entire squad, now we have a very strong squad and only small changes need to be made. Even less so as we are trying to use our own young talent to suppliment the squad. So yes, we will never see the spending that we made some years ago and that is a good thing, it shows we have a settled and able squad that we can add to slowly and with more consideration.

Endrit 39 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Who?The pundit that is saying that Chelsea have the oldest squad in the universe but was kinda funny when the other pundit pointed out how old Man u's squad actually is, anyway he was a prick.

Wilson 358 Posted September 21, 2010 Author Share Posted September 21, 2010 What does it matter if it's an old squad? Look at AC Milan back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
