Your right mate but to stop this mess happening, you should atleast structure their contracts to end in different transfer windows, which would allow the team to introduce replacements over time, without looking desperate....most of us on this forum saw this problem coming 2-3years ago and nothing was done. Having 4 aging FB's all being out of contract in the same summer and loan out your only backups, would seem to hand all the power in negotiations to the selling teams...
I still think(hope) we'll get Walker and Mendy but feel we made it alittle more difficult(expensive) than it could have been..
I agree that is why I mentioned the succession planning, I get a bit pissed off with the stick Txiki gets but I think in this case a bollock was dropped and hopefully we learn from it.
