"But if we're in this situation around the new year I think one or two quality players will come in. He knows what we want and hopefully he can provide it."

That’s got to be our objective, in some ways.
“If we get to January I can guarantee they’ll be knocking on the door and saying ‘listen – go and get the best striker you can buy’. Go and spend whatever you’ve got to spend.

Yet still they claim to have learned from their mistakes. In a weak division for the second year on the spin, promotion there for the taking, minimal sensible investment required. Idiots.

When asked if there were areas of his squad he wanted to strengthen, Ferguson told Eurosport-Yahoo!: "No. The January transfer market has never been the best market and that has proved itself over the years."

You won’t find many Premier League managers who endorse the idea that January transfer window purchases represent good value, but the month has now become the traditional home of football’s silly season.
So top half is a success now?
I'm a lot more confident about this team compared to last season, but having only 2 senior strikers is a big weakness in the squad. Once again we're hoping we get lucky with injuries or a young striker makes the step up.
Yes something similar was said but so what. The difference between now and then is that KR/Steve Gallen seem to be in charge of recruitment Bob Peeters was not. Having two strikers is a weakness your right but still not sure why we need a thread to point out something Robinson said is similar to something Peeters said.
i think we all know now that any managers hands are tied re budgets and numbers under this regime
so i think you should give north stand pie eater a break
It's just a shame the same mistake appears to be being made - go with a squad short of 1 or 2 players and sign more in January if we're doing well.
If you find sustained enjoyment in roly's toxic pantomime, I'm envious I really am. I really don't like being lied to. I retain a deep affection for Charlton Athletic and equally deeply resent the way it continues to be mistreated. You can no more be surprised that criticism of roly and his puppets remains vitriolic, all the while his behaviour remains unchanged.
