Carrick mentioned in January that we'd only be signing players if the club felt confident that they were definitely going to be the right fit.
To me, that statement all but confirmed that we were unlikely to sign a striker in January.
We can't say for certain whether Carrick truly believed that was the right strategy or not, but if he'd come out to the media and said "The club don't have any intention of signing a striker this window, which I'm disappointed about", it's obviously then going to lead to frictions within the club.
It was the beginning of the end for Karanka when he publicly criticised the club's January transfer dealings.
