Yeah agree with everything you said. It’s risky to get some many new players in at once. Can go badly wrong getting them to gel all at once. But as you said the squad and most the first 11 last season are not good enough period. Pickford is good Patterson and myko are good. Coady and Tarks good experienced pros. They will fine settling in. It will be the forwards and midfield that will need to settle in.My other reservation with this is the rate of squad turnover. We’ve already got 5 new players in, and even without this sale we’d be looking at 7 with Gana and a striker. If Gordon goes, surely we’re buying a winger as well as a striker and CM at a minimum.
Pretty rare any side signs 8 new players in one window; there’s always concerns about the team gelling, and I doubt selling Gordon would be popular among the team.
With all that said, I hated so much of our squad last season that I don’t mind a factory reset. Most of them are proven failures. But it does come with risks attached getting so many in.
