Going to be a bit tough when we're hit with the FIFA ban then, isn't it? Its 2012 all over again.

We tried very hard to get Jorginho but we're stitched up by the player and Napoli. As he was the number 1 priority it would be a fair assumption that there was no other target either available or met the recruitment blueprint. the Fern role is extremely difficult to replace as is being shown.Surely if there was potential to be banned we would pull the trigger anyway then? I’m actually staggered that we didn’t go ahead with another DM last summer? To be fair Mendy was fit again and delph and been great last season as well but the midfield area always was the priority yet we made a vanity signing in mahrez? Especially when we had sterling, sane, Bernardo, Jesus, Diaz or De Bruyne that could play wide? Absolutely bonkers
Hope the last 2 games have caused us to rethink our Jan transfer business...the worry over Fern (lack of cover) in the summer has now been confirmed.

In hindsight a LB would have been good and maybe we would have got one if either Zinchenko or Delph had left
Iker Pozo is better than Gomes IMOWe can look in our own ranks, Claudio Gomes for instance ?? Why alway buy, buy, start using the academy for what its worth.
