It's Quiet the £250m return

Starting to think we’ve actually made too many signings. The squad looks unbalanced, we’ve lost experience and it’s going to take a season or two for our new players to settle.

This season is now a transition season.
Always was going to be I feel. The injury situation hasn't helped though.
 
You can't really debate two guys being of the best U21 players in their position then say "I don't care about age".

You obviously don't sell some of the best U21 players you have to start a rebuild.

You say they won't ever be good enough? Fine.
I don't rate them, simple as that. You do, time will tell who was correct. I'd have definitely took the money for both, and reinvested into the squad. Or do you think those positions don't need strengthening?
 
I totally agree that we need strengthening elsewhere, but I believe signing Donna isn’t at the expense of other pursuits, or has even been our top priority
then we have still failed

we have a budget....spending x ammount of that budget on a position that isnt a priority (especially when we just bought trafford in) is a waste of that budget..this is bad planning and leadership
 
I’m not gonna tell you what to do or for what others to think but I think it’s pretty obvious to anyone who pays attention that you largely just regurgitate what you read online and pass it off as your own info.

There is zero chance we sign anyone other than donnarumma imo
Laughable.

I think deep down most people knew it would be a transitional season. Performances against Juventus and Wolves raised expectations, but the performances against Al-Hilal, Spurs, and Brighton have shown that considerable work remains to be done. Even if we brought 3-4 more players tomorrow, getting them all to gel will take time.

Yea but what are transitioning to ?

A team that can win trophies without our best ever player in KDB ? I don’t see it

I think the team would have been in a much better position if we had just spent 400m on 4 players instead of 400m on 10 players. We would then have 4 players who makes a significant difference instead of 10 players and none really improves us.

That's an interesting question.

I'd keep them both but if there were true world class options I'd have them ahead of them.

Rico can be back up to Tino and someone like Kvara would be first choice over Savinho for me.

But while the potential replacements aren't exactly going to push us much further and maybe have a lower ceiling long term I'd rather keep developing our own youth.

I’ve not seen anything online that suggests we’ll be signing anyone other than perhaps a goalie so where are these rumours

We played the last two FA Cup finals with de Bruyne and won neither. He was a great player but we must move on, and we need to transition into a team that is no longer reliant on one individual to create chances and one individual to score chances.
