There was also a bit of frustration that we'd just banked £35m for Carroll and had spent nowt on a striker, not that that was Ba's fault.
The anger at the lack of outlay was somewhat understandable mind, since we'd just got Ba/Marveaux/Abeid on frees, signed Santon as Enrique's replacement and spent about £8m on Cabaye/Obertan. We did obviously get Cisse in January though.
