We won't add to the squad this Jan but hope we can buy a couple in the summer. Unfortunatley so will Chelsea, Man City & Utd. SWARR says he hopes Wengers doesn't take the risk to add in Jan, I say can we afford not to.
Shouldn't we pause and reflect on the fact we're even asking the question? Doesn't that in itself mean this season is very different to the norm? It'd be great to strengthen up top, but if we don't then what we are left with is the team that has grabbed top spot over the first 22 games of the season. At the start of the season if we'd had a poll asking if we'd be top after 22 games then we'd be seeing the same result, no, no, no chance. And yet here we are. As we all know, the gypos are the "Team of the Century" (TM), but we're still above them. How did that happen? Why haven't we been blown away yet? Why haven't we collapsed as normal? If we go on the evidence of the season so far then of course we can win it. Just keep doing what we are doing and we'll win it. Besides, it appears I need to go onto Blue Gypsy Camp in May and gloat, I know the lads won't let me down and deprive me of that pleasure.
