Unhappy his masters only gave him Sancho, Varane and Ronaldo
If he had an actual system that desperately required a new CM, he’d have vetoed Sancho and focused on that area instead. He’s been backed to the tune of 441m in 3 years, that’s almost as much as Klopp has been given in 6 whilst taking them from 30 years of crap to the best team in Europe.
You see, take Pep, he has a system he knows can work without a CF, that’s why he’s sanctioned Grealish and is now in his second season without one of note. He’s not serving up shit on a stick football because he doesn’t have a WC player in all 11 positions. Top managers prioritise signings in the positions most vital to their system. Not sanctioning a 3rd left forward (Sancho, Martial, Rashford), or a 4th attacking mid (Bruno, DvB, Pogba, Lingard).
Something that always amuses me with those who still back Ole to the hilt is the Pogba situation, he’s either a top class midfielder, therefore what’s Ole’s excuse for the midfield being so wank? else he’s an attacking mid Ole has kept around for 3 years whilst buying other players for his best position (Bruno, DvB) and attempting to instead force him in a midfield role.
The Pogba situation, the DvB one and the Sancho signing are concrete evidence that Ole hasn’t seen CM as a priority for 3 years, yet suddenly that’s all he needs to make this clusterfeck suddenly look like an incredible cohesive football team. It’s laughable.
Prioritising like that would require having an actual fecking system though rather than just acquiring good players and hoping it’ll all work out.
