I said myopic, not blind to everything but. However I do accept that he has looked elsewhere also, but just came across that way in his manager search, notwithstanding the fact that we went in a different direction after much turmoil, same with the players.
Don’t agree we don’t need another LB but fine. The major issues remaining are goalscorers and creators and they’ve not been dealt with. Happy with Romero, said that, really needed another CB, not convinced Sanchez and Dier are suddenly going to prove to have been the answer all along, but that too I could have accepted as “you can’t have everything” if we got the ammo up front, but we didn’t and it’s not as if we’re confident Ndombele and Gio are going to be chipping in, one’s been instantly ostracised for a start, and I don’t believe they thought Gil was going to be playing a tonne this season being just a slip. Too many of those things didn’t happen for me to think it was a great window, sorry, but want away Kane and Son as regular goal scorers and THAT’S IT? I just think that’s a huge issue.
The in sync bit is just about the new team bedding in; coaching, players, youth that come through during the season etc. all will give FP much more understanding of the needs of the team/squad & coach, had we got our ducks in line earlier we could have made more progress than we did and that’s on him for not appointing a coach swiftly enough.
I’ve hardly written him off but he has not had a stellar first window in my opinion, some good and some not good enough, I expect we’ll see better next year once everyone has settled.
