I'd imagine the owner brought the Barca clan on board to enable us to have pep and hope he would bring the best out players rather than spending hundreds of millions a year on transfers. Unfortunately it hasn't worked that way.
Since signing KDB/laporte it seems we haven't signed a decent player, everyone has arrived and not done anything special at all.
We've needed a forward for years, Jesus isn't upto filling the role when aguero is injured which is happening more and more. Playing this false number 9 is a load of bollocks.
I was genuinely excited about the prospect of Messi joining, mainly because it felt like we were finally going for the best rather than being arrogant and thinking that if we go in for a player we dictate the price and walk away if they don't want us, I only wonder where we would be now if we would have secured VVD instead of moaning about price which in the market now is a fucking bargain.
