He did and he told us in May, yet when our Laporte got injured 4 months later in September, our season effectively ended, and we were playing a past his best Otamendi and and out of position Dinho for the biggest games after wed chosen not to replace him.
What I mean is we had 4 months to sort that out and we didnt until 12 months later when we got Dias, weve had arguably longer to plan for Sergio and the season has already started.
BTW...Im not saying we should throw money at Kane for the hell of it - I am actually torn on it - I just think we should have been better prepared.
