Ronaldinho another luxury that management wasted way too much time on.

Management had their priorities twisted in the last transfer window and didn't spend money on their needs, only their wants.

So IMO worse than spending too much money...they didn't address the teams immediate needs with the money they did spend.

I don't think Pato is a luxury in the slightest. We needed a top class forward and the management clearly bought him with an eye on the future (something which fans want sorted out last I remember). Maybe the Ronaldinho furore was unnecessary and we could have bought some others, I agree that we could have bought others to strengthen (though this squad is capable of a lot more than it's done).
