Player Valuation: £8m
Well i've just watched the second half of the Newcastle game and i'm saddened. Despite a lot of huff and puff, and lots of possession, once again there was an inability to capitalise in the last third of the pitch, and indeed very little quality.
With teams such as the RS, Arsenal and Spurs doing better than anticipated at the start of the season, as well as good form from dark horses such as Norwich, Swansea, West Brom, QPR and of course the barcodes themselves, i begin to fear a relegation battle for us in the second half of the season, especially as the departure of more of our quality players in the January window seems likely - Fellaini in particular, but possibly Baines and others too. Moreover, if things don't turn around soon i would be very surprised if David Moyes is still here at the start of next season.
Basically, despite having a decent squad (and a bit of bad luck in one or two games), other teams have improved and we have little prospect of doing the same without a hefty injection of cash. Let's face it, this isn't going to happen under Kenwright and his cronies. Maybe as the season progresses, some of those who were against the BU protests a couple of months ago will begin to get the point. Imo, time is running down quickly to a point where the Club gets sucked into a serious and longterm downward spiral, and what happens in the coming months, both on the field and off, is crucial to the outcome of this.
