On the Kolarov signing...
RAG1: They don't half buy some mediocre dross for their petro-dollars though, they've certainly shown the world how to blow billions on average joes and overstock your squad with players of the same ilk ie. Toure, De Jong, Vieira, Barry in CM, Bellamy, Tevez, Robinho, Silva in attack etc.
RAG2: I agree. You look at that list and whilst it might look OK when compared to Spurs or even an Arsenal team without Fabregas, its no way in the same class as what we or the Chavs have or indeed what Liverpool had.
Not qualifying for the CL in world cup year was a huge opportunity missed for them. Imagine if they could offer CL football now, lots of players who had made a name for themselves would jump at the chance to join them ... whereas they are still signing the Barry/Adebayor type player who just isn't good enough.
