We've been in progress almost 10 years now. Glad former players are at least starting to throw shade. It's insane that other teams are never in "progress" while we are stuck in a perpetual limbo.
Exactly. You can be a work in progress for really no longer than 2.5 years. Let’s be real.
0-1 year, it’s not really your team but you can start implementing tactics and style. Sometimes at the cost of results.
1-2 years, kick out some dead wood and buy players more appropriate for your style of play. Continue to work with other players who can fit the style but need more practice.
2-3 years. You should be seeing a defined style and had multiple windows to buy and sell players that share the same ethos and style as your ideas.
3+, team should be playing exactly how you want. Might want a few extra squad players but starting 11 picks itself mostly.
You just don’t see that. Ole has created a squad of good players but they don’t compliment each other. This is why your stuck with the likes of McFred because a midfield 3 of Bruno, Pogba and Donny just would not work. In fact Bruno wouldn’t even excel in a 4-3-3 and this is why your tactics have become quite predictable.
