I understood your point, and I didnt think that you were serious about the relegation bit. Given their players are getting on a bit, but they still saleable assets like Pires.
They are not as bad as everyone makes out and I can see them seriously strengthening their squad in Jan, they must if they want to keep Henry.
Next season with the new revenue from the Stadium they will spend big again and be challanging again.
Thats my opinion anyways.
