daredevil Personally, I'm not that impressed. A lot of backup players who don't move the needle. If we're relying on them at any point next season then we're just ensuring we don't completely tank.
Can't say I agree with this at all. Obviously Zubimendi and Gyökeres are huge signings off the top.
We are very fortunate to have Zubimendi instead of being in the desperation market for a 6 now having had the lack of integrity to extend Partey only to see him finally face these rape charges. Thank fuck.
As for Madueke, he's at minimum an elite threat who will play to give Saka a rest or when he is injured—and that's key for us. Then of course while Eze is not here yet, we're as close or closer to him than Liverpool is to Isak.
We missed out on the title by way of a lack of depth and suffering some absurd refereeing decisions last season. It would currently be far worse for us if we were scrapping good players to make headroom for a couple of £100m plus signings just as liable to go down injured as Saka, Havertz and Ødegaard.
When you say "if we're relying on them at any point"—the point is to be able to rely on players like this and not spend a month or two with our senior forward options Trossard, Merino and Sterling plus a couple of teenagers.
