Can't compare the two windows. The sum we got for Carrol proves how stupid the january prices are. Unlike before we're not willing to pay more than what the players is actually worth. The fact that we ended up empty handed, doesn't mean that we didn't try. If Enrique is sold, I think M'Benge will arrive quickly.
What if he is sold last thing on deadline day?
Liverpool and Arsenal will be smiling away with their new left backs while we have Neil Taylor, the supposed backup.
We wouldn't even get Taylor. We'd have a bid at 8 minutes to midnight rejected as 'derisory'.
