The truth is....our fans are expectedly impatient, especially given the season we just had. It's June. The window closed at the end of August. From my memory, outside of big deals that had been planned during previous seasons, like Haaland's was for City. Signings usually occur in July and August, not June.
In addition, unlike City and Liverpool, we aren't looking to add squad depth we are literally looking to rebuild with a plan to do it with strategy. This means we have an eye on specific pieces. We can't take risks with young players playing in South America or young talent in general this window ( like we did with Amad and Pellestri). We need to actually get ready to contribute talent, players who may be more difficult to buy.
This means fans should not get annoyed at missing out on players like Bissouma, as that was never the plan. They should not be annoyed at "missing" out on Nunez, as clearly that wasn't in the budget and were just baseless media driven reports. This window, we need to focus on specific positions and players who fit Ten Haag's style. We also need to incorporate some of our star players into the team too.
What is also pretty clear is that FDJ would like be our most expensive summer signing and the one that would be hardest to get. We have players like De Gea Varane Shaw Bruno Sancho Rashford and Ronaldo here. We also have Maguire Van De Beek Lindelof Fred and even Martial. Who have all proven at some point they can perform in a good team. We have youngsters like Amad , Hannibal, Fernandez, Garner and Garnacho coming through as well. So we are not a completely horrendous team. We are a team with weakness in certain key positions, who have been poorly coached over the last few years. We need to be a patient with our football leadership management and see what they can do.
