We did get cover for Fern, he's called Rodri - but he needed to be integrated into the team and this league gradually with Fern playing in midfield.
The management team have a record of NOT strengthening the squad when we've won the league, and we properly fucked up this summer by not replacing Kompany with a like for like equivalent, it's not like we didn't have lot's of notice. Pep deciding to use Fern at centre half has back fired massively, he's not a centre back and our midfield is worse off.
