How is it a farce?
- We brought in Maddison.
- We replaced Hugo.
- We bought a promising partner for Romero.
- Dav has shown he can be a serviceable backup in this system.
- Perisic played in his correct position is a quality sub on the left.
- Solomon is the tricky winger we need on the right.
- Our midfield is exceptionally strong.
- When you look at the bench there's quality there.
Is the jury still out on Richie? Yeah, it is, but Ange wants to stick with him, so that's good enough for me. Would it be nice to have another quality winger/forward that is a goal threat? Of course it would (and maybe Gil is just that - we don't really know). But has that prevented us from creating chances and scoring goals? No, it hasn't.
Would it be nice to have another cover CB that is better than Sanchez? Sure. Can we live without one until the next window? I think we can.
So how is all of the above a farce? Because we haven't signed enough players? This is a rebuild and we're not going to get all the pieces in
one window. Even Ange said so himself. Nor do we need them given the amount of games we will have this season.
So let's have some perspective, people. It's a long process. If we get someone else in by the close of the window, great. If not, enjoy the progress we have made for now and let's re-evaluate in January and next summer.
