I find it very difficult to believe that we’ll bring in a CB, LB and CM/CDM before the window shuts. Talk of a striker seems to be mere fantasy. Time is running short and nothing really seems to be happening right now.
I’m preparing myself for a difficult season. My expectation is that we’ll be fighting for top four. Given that we are weaker than last season on paper and that those around us are strengthening, it’s difficult to see how we will be able to close the gap.
I don’t see us improving much defensively even if we do bring in an experienced centre-back. The left-back position is likely to remain very weak and we lack any real protection for the back line. Plus, with Silva gone, our ability to retain possession is arguably diminished.
Unless Bernardo returns to his very best form, we are a KDB injury away from disaster. Let’s face it, he has been carrying this team for a while now.
