Good move. Even if we don't sign anybody this window.

What options do we have to actually change and influence a game? Really? We've got squad depth there to bring people in if there's an injury at the back or rest legs on the closing minutes, but nothing to inject pace or something different into the outcome. It's a very poorly balanced squad now unfortunately - and that comes down mainly to the fact attacking players cost money we're not allowed to spend.

People blaming Eddie for not bringing on subs and then when he brings on the only viable options to the game also complaining. It's frustrating but our squad is ridiculously unbalanced with a load of shit defenders and backup midfielders. It's why we've clearly been trying to pie off Kelly all window clearly. PSR is killing us because we need attacking reinforcements.

Squad is ridiculously unbalanced. We have nothing to change a game.

To be fair I think we've been actively trying to.

Our bench is full of defensive cover and midfielders we don't have any faith in to impact a game. You can see why Eddie doesn't want to do anything with it.

Sandro has been pants like

It's coming for Fulham here, really poor second half

Yeah fair Joelinton has been worse, but I've come to expect that looseness from him.

Shot was a howitzer but bit disappointed by Tonali so far in terms of us controlling the midfield

Spurs below Everton

Goal difference advantage over Forest basically wiped out

Based on what he showed here he wasn't tbh. And I don't think he'd have ever got going as a rotation player for us. He needed to be the main man in a team that plays to his strengths. It was a good sale for everyone.

It's possible, but I expected more chinks in the armour by now. Probably comes down to winning that home game against them.

Yeah you're right here IMO. I think he'd have been great for us. Don't think he's worth 50-60 million like, but he would have improved our team without a doubt.

I've given up on Forest falling away like. Don't think we'll overtake them.

Home loss to Brighton one of our worst results of the season, particularly given how we played.

A Maldini in black and blue is somewhat jarring.

Can absolutely see why Eddie wanted Elanga like.

If they hadn't already sold loads of players for stupid money in recent years giving them complete freedom in the market going forward then I'd agree it's daft to turn it down. But they have done, and it does nothing for them or the rest of their season selling him now. There comes a point where you have to not just sell. The player clearly didn't want to go either.

Brighton are already PSR teachers pets though, they absolutely do not need to sell, and for me Mitoma on form is their best player.

Forest switched to a back 3?

A decent fee would go along way towards us getting the RCB we actually need far more in the summer. Got to consider it IMO. I guess we've had our fingers burnt with Guehi now but I'm surprised there's been nothing more this January with that. I'd have tried to sign him with allowing him to finish the season at Palace on loan or with an agreed summer transfer. Every window that passes without him signing a contract is a depreciating fee, but the Chalobah/Radi situation means they can't afford to lose any defenders. Feel like there'd be opportunity to exploit that now we're not as urgent in need.

Still don't think an on site rebuild is possible due to 1. LP encroachment and 2. I don't think you could build it without at least some time at another ground. Depending on where the footprint sits you basically increase one or the other factor on a sliding scale. That's not referring to a gradual rebuild of all sides btw, which could be done, but would retain the capacity limits as discussed.

I presume you're thinking about the winger who plays for Juve? City are after the midfielder at Porto.
