Feels like we’ve gone really early with squad numbers. I’m nervous. Howe quoted as saying, with four weeks to go to kick off, nothing is close. Also think we’re still shorn of 6+ players through injury, I never get a sense of urgency from the manager. £900m spent in the PL and we’ve spent nowt (not counting Hall, sorry). We’re actually £38m in profit.
Seeing as we played a friendly today, they had to do something with the shirt numbers. There will be gaps to fill, plus if we sell anyone, their number becomes available to anyone new joining. Relax my friend. Give Mitchell a little bit of time to do his work.
Mate, Ryan Fraser and Dubravka are still at the club. Why do we always feel like we’re dicking about so slowly? Perhaps it’s now easy to see why Staveley was shunted aside.
I really think Mitchell and his team will get business done. Might just take a couple of transfer windows as we still have a lot of **** to shift for one go.
Oh, don’t get me wrong, none of this is Mitchell’s fault. And I’m sure he’ll get it right. Just wonder what Howe and his team have been doing up to this point to not have a few of these knackers out the door.
