Everyone has improved around us sure, but our squad was already so far ahead that they needed to. Sure it’s a shame and not ideal to not sign a striker, but I’d much rather be going into the season without and waiting for the right choice rather than panicking and signing the wrong one.
We have made big improvements from last season, grealish is a brilliant signing for starters. But the young players we have, which I think is looked over, will only improve; there’s so much more to come from phil and ferran especially, while gabby playing on the wing might finally unlock what he’s truly capable of.
Keeping a hold of Bernardo and Laporte cannot be understated also.
We will have another fantastic season and we will bring in the players we need when they are available. We waited a year to sign a holding midfielder, missing out on Fred/ Jorginho before signing Rodri, same with centre half, missed out on slabhead, waited a year and brought Dias in. In the short term it is annoying but I have full faith the club will identify and get the right players in, and I’m also more than confident we have more than enough to compete on all fronts and win some trophies again this season. There’s no need to panic.
