We could play this game forever and a day.....
However my ‘assumption’ is based on the evidence of recent seasons in which we have not performed well, have fallen short of top 4
and in general have not attracted the quality of player we need.
Sancho and a couple of quality midfielders and we would probably have a top 3 squad. That is the fine margin I feel we are dealing with. If we get lucky with injuries, if the youth develop well, and if Pogba has a worldie of a season we may get top 4. But that’s a lot of ifs. We really could’ve done with him this season rather than crossing our fingers for 12 months hence.
