Don’t think that’s where Millsy is coming from. It’s always disappointing when the big targets don’t pan out. But, and it’s a significant but, Txiki and the lads rarely leave us high and dry following a transfer window. There is still a long time left.
Also remember, what we ‘brief’ and what we do may well be completely different things.
Who is to say that Kalvin won’t come back with a “I’ll fucking show you attitude” and be the ‘new’ signing for the season ahead?
I’m am a few pots deep in holiday but I will retain a high level of faith in th management team until further notice.
I really think Kovacic will surprise many. I’ve watched a few of the clips showing his touches against us, he is fucking mint.
When I played (at a very basic level) I always thought “I’d love to be the worst player in the team” that I played for as I worked my bollocks off and had decent ability. If Kalvin has that drive in him, and attitude this coming season then we will be pleasantly surprised.
Wish I had your faith in Phillips.
Thought he was an average player for Leeds and thought at the time that whoever suggested City to buy him last summer was high on spice.
