Stevosevic Posted 30 January 2017 Posted 30 January 2017 Shambles of a season. Forget our weak group in Europe, its all been pathetic from start to finish.

Slightly agree with this really. This year should have been all about us cementing our place as a top 10 club that could challenge top 6 when any of the top clubs slipped up. We should have bought in the best players in the league that the top 6 didn't want (Keane, sigurdsson etc) and the only signing we could possibly put in that category is Slimani. We have been way too complacent on how good last year was and are now not much better off than the start of last year
FoxinNotts Posted 30 January 2017 Posted 30 January 2017 Such over reaction from most of those here on FT. Far too much focus is put on the Jan window, hyped up by Sky, and the fans buy into it. Yes, We need decent cover (and eventual replacement) for one of our centre backs, and we could definitely do with a no10. But both issues can still be resolved internally, with the options we've got, to a good enough standard to achieve this seasons goal. (Which realistically is stay up, without too much panic, i.e. never to drop into the bottom 4). Take out last seasons amazing achievements. For which I am privileged to have witnessed, and that is about where City should be happy to be. 14-16th. Far too much hysteria. Keep calm. The players will hopefully be focused on what they need to do. Us fans should be too. If you stand back and look at the transfers which go through in Jan, it is rare when a teams fortunes are completely transformed by those transfers.

FoxinNotts Posted 30 January 2017 Posted 30 January 2017 1) Kaputska was used quite regularly as a no10 for Poland. I'd give that a go (I'm not saying Claudio will btw, but he should) Or although it has had mixed (at best) results so far, Mahrez should be an ideal candidate for that role. This would also free up a wing spot. For which we have a few options. 2) Yes, I agree. A good example. But these examples are not all that frequent.

Agree with you on the number 10s (id actually love to see mahrez there), but meant centre back more specifically to that point . No doubt that January buying is risky business, but because we didn't do enough in the summer we have no choice.

Can't see us getting more than 5 points out of the next 7 PL matches, which would put us on 26 points in 29 matches. Would that be enough to to keep us out of the bottom 4?

Would that be enough to to keep us out of the bottom 4? Well, we were on 19 points with 29 played a few seasons back which was the point we kicked off our great escape. I think based on current points totals of the bottom 3/4 this year - being a little lower - 26 points would probably keep around 2/3 points adrift of the relegation zone. That said any of them put a run together - which I've a feeling they will - and we could be in trouble. Swansea look like they're starting to get their sh1t together, playing some decent stuff and Palace' losing run cant last forever with a manager that knows how to grind out results. I'd say we require more than 5 from the next 7 to avoid being pulled right down into the sh1t pit.

Most on here are citing the summer window as the real lost opportunity, when we could surely have got in Keane and Siggurdson, for example. Can see no excuse for missing out on those. This is merely compounded by the undignified scramble for almost anybody who vaguely fits the bill in this Jan window.
