As people have said it's who we didn't sign, and who we didn't sell that's the main problem.
Atm Klassens the only player I wouldn't of signed, I still think he'll improve but the money could of been spent better in other areas.
Money saved from that purchase, a quick realistic sale of Barkley, and taking whatever we could for McCarthy, Lennon, Niasse, Robles and possibly Mirrales, could of gave us anything around £80-90m and a substantial amount of extra money for wages, to bring in another defender and striker, that would move us upto the next level.
People tend to get ahead of themselves though and the season has only just kicked off really, we knew it would be a tough start to the league especially with so many new players, shame our performances have spilled over into the Europa though
