Agree with you on strengthening the team, in saying that I think if honest the club are ahead of where they realistically thought they might be and that's where squad limitations are being shown up.
I think you are right with 3 of the other clubs with the exception of utd whose financial situation might work against them as they may have to start selling assets.
As bad as it was today, better having a top 6 showdown game opposed to a relegation showdown
