Still over a week for there to be a turnaround but I was genuinely expecting us to have all of our business (or the majority) done by now. The narrative at the end of last season was that the targets were identified. Now maybe there is an elaborate plan here but it doesn't feel like it is robust enough. Especially not with Silva saying he needs 5 more in 11 days. No back-up for the Zouma scenario when everyone knew they were banned from buying players. Gana we're letting go so probably knew he would be going in January - no definitive replacement it seems?
I know there is probably a lot of work going on but it feels like we're not getting any of our main targets so maybe we've been priced out? Only time will tell I suppose but we're definitely a weaker team now than we were mid-May.
