Were being the operative word. Both were good players but Stones is never fit and Robertson is burnt out from playing as a Klopp fullback/winger for 9 seasons. Rather have players that are good now but can improve even further.
We have no europe next season so it makes sense to get 4 quality players and not bloating the squad out with more okay players.
I heard he has a feet fetish
Toeday is the day for a new pun off
Aren’t they more interested in Ederson and Tonali?
Oh no, not more puns, they're sole-destroying
It is not a big deal though? Yes, experience and having proven winners can help, but its not a guarantuee for anything and its certainly not more important than having good footballers in your side that can win you games by their quality.
I am fine with adding experience like Robertson but don't get the priorities wrong.
Where were these winners when we had our best run with Pochettino? We just had a quality unit with a plan and confidence.
And we won the sqaure root of fuck all
I don’t know, but they have wanted Baleba for a long time.
....don't do it.
But we were competing and speaking for myself, I had a very good time supporting Spurs. To be honest a better time than winning the EL but get embarrassed in the league week in week out. But thats another story.
I hope not many on here would prefer signing Stones/Robertson to signing Wharton/MGW. Its not only completely different positions, its also mental to even suggest the oldies would improve us more.
It matters and it showed over the last 2.5 years.
When the going got tough, nobody could do a thing about it.
It shows that Palinha was probably our most influential player this season.
2 or 3 more with his mentality plus experience of what a winning team actually looks like could help.
These are not starting 11 players. They're bench players who, unlike the last 25 years, are actually good enough to bring on.
True, but it is fair to question whether some proper winning experience would have helped get us over the line then - we didn't have it from the manager or any of the players, really, bar Lloris maybe?
Because we didn’t add quality depth, not because we didn’t add a bunch of 32 year olds.
We had no depth. That was the long and short of it.
