Mixed bag this summer
Maddison: club identified a critical but weak area of the team, signed him good and early, no messing about and got him for what looks like a steal.
Vicario: another weak area of the team identified and addressed early. Still not convinced that Raya wasn't the better option, time will tell.
Micky VDV. Another weak area of the team. Every man and his dog knew we needed 2 centre backs yet we've only signed one. Signed a mere 3 days before the 1st game of the season. Absolutely disgraceful that the coach and team were put in that position. Easy to overlook this now due to our recent results and how well VDV has taken to things but a completely unnecessary and avoidable risk.
2nd centre back. Still pending with 48 hours to go.
Replacement striker for kane. MIA. Kane left 2 weeks ago and the club knew it was a very definite possibility since June and still had nothing lined up or nothing done in the last 2 weeks.
