Sunmer of 2019
Signed van den berg for 1.5m and Adrian for 0
We then went and won the league.
Now not saying going to happen but sometimes improvements in current players is better then new signings.
I’d imagine the club also working very hard working out what TAA vvd Salah are doing. If they’re signing new contracts then alters what we need. If not then we have to be in for replacements this summer / January
We were European champions, 2nd by 1 point on a huge number and had added alisson, vvd, fabinho etc.
Right now we were thrid by a decent mark and overall deserved to be third but were not as good as city or arsenal and don't look to be as good as them again
Maybe we have a lot of scope for improvement in certain areas such as bradley, Quansah and of course bajcetic, gravenberch, Szoboszlai and the usual Elliott stuff.
They are young so the scope for improvement is massive.
That gives hope.
We need something to resolve the balance of the side. I feel slot can rid us for the ingrown toenail formation and that will improve us. Too many side are packing out the middle now and it's going to need a new way to go to best it. Width will be the key.
The worry is the forwards. Will slot get the best out of gakpo and Diaz on the left? Will we get a tune out of Jota and nunez?
Are any of them REALLY good enough to compete with Arsenal and city?
Who knows.
Salah amd vvd are short term issues.
Trent isn't actually an issue for me. Bradley might do the job better.
