After the past 13 years, they 100% fully deserve you to give them the benefit of doubt ;)Perhaps so. The Messi situation though suggests otherwise.
So maybe a position or two is complex and we decided not to pursue current offerings.
But:
No LB candidates?
No DM candidates?
No one at CB if Laporte moves?
All our marbles on a Kane signing that may or may not come to fruition? Why did we release Aguero without having first signed/lined up a replacement?
Signed Grealish for a record fee in spite of a very deep attacking midfield?
I'm willing to give our management the benefit of doubt - but really? Couldn't we have done much better this window?
