Isnt it funny how this squad, devoid of top quality is where it is, admittedly not top of the stack but putting up numbers that indicate we are one of the form teams in the PL

I wouldn't say the squad is devoid of top quality but I would say that we could do with a few more top quality additions to take us to the next level. I don't think anybody could put a case up to say we're better off now than we were last season. The facts are we've lost 1 world class player & 1 near to world class player and replaced them with inferior players.
Sure we've improved from our awful start this season, our current form on the whole is impressive, however I do think we're a RVP injury away from our season falling apart. We've not had to rely on one player as much as this since Thierry Henry back in 2005/2006.
I do feel we need to buy and I'm not talking about youth projects from league one or developing players from european leagues, we need real quality, they can be young ala Goetze or Hazard, but this team needs that star factor added in a few positions IMHO.

Who are you comparing us to? If it's the teams below us then yes, we have quality. If it's the teams above us then we're lacking in quality - no doubt about it.
Do you think our squad is good enough to overhaul Chelsea? I don't and come end of January it definitely won't be.
Yes, we are better than the teams below us. . .and even after removing my Arsenal tainted glasses, I see nothing to fear from Chelsea nor Tottenham come visits to the Emirates
Dont get me wrong we need to look to strengthen next month in order to bring us even closer. . .to those above us. . .and the fact we as close without spending the ridiculous amount some have speaks volumes for the hardwork put in by those at the club apart fron the money grabbing twats in the board room.
I am not disillusioned, we need to work hard to keep the momentum going but with what Ive seen so far, I believe more in the current crop than the bunch of bottlers that finished last season. . . .
Yes - we are definitely a mentally stronger team with the purchases over the summer giving some backbone to the squad. The change since they joined has been very clear.
