I think Jorginho might be a little disappointing when he gets a run out. I don't know him too well as a player, but we'll see. If we don't see a tactical collapse, and we see more invention and class than we get with Elneny, it'll be great.
The one thing that was going to make me spit chips about this coming half season was if we were relying on Lokonga. Kid's got talent but he has major issues with both attitude and application and I would feel awful watching us miss out on a league win if he were in the picture.
Trossard, Jorginho, Kiwior … given the total we laid out I think it was a very canny period, and I was also excited by our pursuits of Mudryk of Caicedo. Both were thwarted, but both demonstrated how we plan on improving further. I reckon the sums we were bidding were realistic and will be competitive in other cases.
We certainly may miss out on the title, but we're currently the best run, most entertaining, most dynamic club … and on our way (with certain modifications) to restoring ourselves as the classiest club … in the world's greatest football league.
