January is the time when we should be looking for a couple of shrewd signings to give us that boost. I can't remember too many big name signings in January that were a huge success. A cheeky loan for someone, preferably an experienced striker. bit like when the Rags got Larson..

This summer Fabregas was the huge player we should have signed - peddling off Toure to PSG - but again we missed.
Next summer Pogba and Reus will be on the table and likely move. We need to make sure we sign an A Lister and no more B and C list players. Toure's best days are in the rear view mirror and his replacement needs to be onboard asap.

This time we gave Porto £40m for Mangala and Fernando when we should've spent big on Fabregas and an other.
Two wasted windows and a team that still looks at it's best with last years players in it (and none from the 2012 window)!

The Count doesn't look like playing the two together anyway, and Milnner would have been a sufficient cover for Ferna when he's out. It's not that I object to getting a cover for Ferna in, but both him and Fernando are too expensive to be back--up players.
