If you look at this signing from the management point of view:
1. We have/almost achieved our CL goal by reaching Semis/breaking out group stage with respectful results. (Win/Draw bonuses)
2. We are about to achieve a huge Financial goal by breaking even before two seasons of scheduled time IF we don't spend on this winter mercato.
3. We can win Scudetto easily with our current FW's.
4. Our 5th choice FW is not reliable and long-term injured.
5. We don't want to put high pressure / bother our Primavera kids to replace that 5th choice FW.
6. We couldn't bring back Gabbiadini or Immobile only to the end of the season due to the refusal of their halves owners.
7. Why don't we get a short-term sub who is better than Bendtner? What should be the characteristics of that sub to help us in CL and to achieve our Financial goal? Cheap, have CL experience and will accepts a short-term contract.
8. What are the current choices that meet the previous criteria ? DD, LL, Anelka.
9. DD wants high wage and long-term contract. LL cannot be loaned with a small fee with option to buy. So the only choice left is Anelka.
Summary: This season's Sporting goals have been achieved. Now we want to achieve our Financial goals. The quality rise will be in the summer with a new set of goals for the new season.
