We always seem to flag up to other clubs our targets, don’t do the deal (whether down to haggling over price/method of payment or the player) and then another club comes in, pays the going rate and we miss out.
All the talk about missing out on players whilst waiting for others, e.g. Grujic/Clyne and then the media talking up deals e.g. Sala, Tameze, N’Jie.
It is frustrating that as a club we have a great chance of staying up if only we strengthened the squad with 2/3 quality players. Premiership survival is there for the taking but we just seem content with plodding along without any real urgency. There must be many clubs out there who would love to be in our position. Why don’t we give it a good go & benfit from the huge financial rewards. We don’t need to settle for relegation and parachute payments.
I hope that the club pulls one or two rabbits out of the hat before the end of the window or many fans will be disappointed knowing that we haven’t given it a good go regardless of the current players who have given 100% so far. Some will probably disagree and say the club are doing a good job but there’s seem to be many disappointed City fans on Twitter at the moment.
