Apparently, Barca wanted to include Malcom but the loan amount was too expensive. We are in financial dire straits. This is probably why Sven left. This formula can only work for established players. Would have been hard for him to go and buy, say, Mancini for £20m.
We really need to clean house this summer. Not that our wage bill is particularly high, but every last player we can shake like Jenkinson, Ozil, Elneny etc needs to go to create space. Not re-signing Ramsey, even at half his Juve price makes a lot more sense now.
