But surely we need to maximize that chance though?! Having Carlo and the weird way the league is playing gout this year, we would be mad not to at least chuck money at one quality player. We are a couple of injuries away from having to shoe-horn players into odd positions again and, while it has done OK so far, may not be so successful next time.
I cannot help that feel this one season it is up for grabs, not the title but the top 4 and the covered CL positions.
Just imagine finishing 5th or 6th by a point or two cos we did not have suitable back up or were forced to play Tom/Gylf/Gomes for the next 18 games.
Sounds painful...
But I agree with you mate. The chance is there.
Yes we have Carlo, and that's exactly why we should be getting him the best tools for the job.
The people in charge at the club should have been doing everything possible for the last few months to ensure we had wiggle room to go out and do some deals.
Too much passivity imo, and I don't actually think they realise what a good opportunity this season has presented itself as - I don't think they realised that at the start. I also don't think they've taken extra risk from COVID, congested fixture lists etc, into enough account.
I'm not expecting something big but still hopeful of a loan deal or two. But really, given our position, we should be making a push. Any plans for the summer, should be brought forward if possible. Test the waters. I appreciate that there's a lot of mitigating factors, mostly self-inflicted (Brands doesn't escape from this, we're spunking over 100k per-week on Lossl and Delph who have both been brought in during his time, and another 110k goes to Bernard who is so inconsistent).
Ultimately if we do miss out on Europe because the injuries we got finally caught up with us, then the club will only have themselves to blame.
