we have a massive squad with a lot of decent players - but the fact of the matter is that the players that we have are just not good enough to play against the top teams. we're buying a lot of squad players for 5m ish, and this is where the problem lies, we're not strengthening the first 11.
e.g pennant+aurellio+bellamy+gonzalez = 20m = lennon or swp or king(15m) or deco - you get the point.
another problem we have is central midfield. benitez - first choice alonso and sissoko before injury
alonso - defensive midfielder
sissoko - ball winning midfielder
no goals no creativity - whats the point of winning the ball if youre too deep(alonso) or have no creativty(sissoko) to do anything with the ball?
one HAS to have creative ability/scores goals further forward to have any chance of challenging for the title .i.e lamplard, ballock, scholes, fabregas.
here's a thought lets play a goalscoring, creative, powerfull, pacy midielder in the centre - wonder where we're goin to find one of them? !!!!!!!!!!!
