The grass was too green, the wind was too windy, the ball was too round and the ceiling was just too low
So the big question now is... who else can the Saudis buy for us to loan in the January window? Options are endless.
Now that more or less everything has been lifted, it's going to be much easier to improve the first XI. Priority is that right hand side, for sure. Upgrade Almiron, Schar and Longstaff (loan, Tonali is clearly the option we want in here). Summer we need to upgrade Wilson and Pope. RW - Madueke maybe? Not getting in regularly at Chelsea who still have far too many players. Or someone more established like Rafa (Benfica), Acensio (PSG) or Under (Galatasaray). RCB - there's a good few out there playing well, highly rated and affordable; Silva (Benfica), Tapsoba (Leverkusen), Tomori (Milan), Le Normand (Sociedad) to name 4. CM - just get Philips in on loan, suits all parties until Tonali is back.
We'll loan who we want, We'll loan who we waaaaant, Don't challenge us on quantity, We'll loan who we want.
All these tears over that? Not exactly like we can double our squad overnight is it. What a bunch of cry babies.
