I am hoping that perhaps our quiet transfer window was to encourage our young stars that there could be a place for them in the squad next season. After years of bringing in average premier league players rather than promoting our young players, maybe it's time for a change? Kenny has already shown that he is not frightened of gambling on youth. Kelly, Robinson, Spearing have all been given their chance, maybe Sterling for example will get his big chance next season.
I like this idea - why spend money on an average, stop-gap player? Keep it, put it all in one big pile and spend it on proper quality in the summer, not just the dross that is available.
Obviously good deals can be done in January, Suarez is the shining example, but most of the time you're paying over the odds or not getting enough choice for a particular position.
So, I assume we were interested in players, but they were over priced.
I prefer to keep the faith in the ones we have, and blood the odd youngster if needs be.
We have Bellamy in the form of his life, and Kuyt and Carroll (and maybe even Downing!) improving by the match, as well as Gerrard back from injury and Suarez back from the ban. We have the options and quality to aim for the top, regardless of a quiet transfer window.
