Great Win. We'd probably have cried had Nuno still been around. Players all have alot.
Realistically though, we still need at least 2 defenders (Over and above injured ones), 1 great CDM, 1 Great AM. 1 Great Striker. Great because they need to be world class.
Not one of our defenders are World Class. Not one of our Midfielders are World Class.
In fact the only 2 players could potentially World Class, i.e. Son and Kane (Debatable on current form).
We need upgrades in order to be a Top Six team. Average doesn't bring any trophies
The whole "world class" thing is crap. Firstly, if the expression is to mean anything at all, you have to be one of the top 3 in the world in that position, i.e. you make the squad for a hypothetical Earth vs Mars game.
Secondly, and more to the point, great teams generally don't have more than 3, maybe 4 players who would make that squad. Go back and look at the classic teams, you'll always find five or six very decent players who aren't "world beaters".
To give one example I mentioned earlier, 1990s Barcelona. I'm looking at a webpage which gives their best eleven from the decade. You could argue about some of the choices (no Beguiristain or Goicoetxea?) but even so.. Look at the players who wouldn't be on that interstellar tour with the World XI....
Zubizarreta (maybe), Ferrer, Popescu, Frank De Boer (maybe)... This is the best team of a decade, they never played together. Look at the early 90s, when they were in thir pomp - Bakero, Amor, Sergi, and others wouldn't have made that inter-planetary rocket. All outstanding players, much loved in
Can Barça.
We will be lucky to have two such players, we shoudn't fixate on more. Players from the"very good internationals" will do fine
. What a screamer. Skipp doing better than I thought he would do so far this season. Brighton next in the league so that’s a big game as then we have Leicester & Liverpool which will be tough.
