It's not that we don't identify early. We had identified Eze two seasons back, along with Simons, Hincappie and few others. It's that for these type of players (Over 25s), our esteemed Chairman believes he has a right to a sizeable 'Levy' discount and favourable 'deposite plus 10p for year' terms. But for the like of Johnson, Gray Bergvall and 200000 other youngsters, he's happy to fork out the dough.Or maybe it's because we do not have a decent scouting system that CLEARLY identifies the ones we want at the opening of the window.
Strange how United and Liverpool got their main targets signed up quickly.
Every time we try to sign someone who is sought after by others, we dither . Eze should have been signed weeks ago.
It is obvious that we will now be scraping around the championship so expect Dibling, Hackney and the lad from Leicester.
Of course there will be rumours about Rodrygo and Simons because we want to win the Champions League. Hahahaha!!
