Oh we definitely aren’t plugging every gap in one summer. There’s no team that ever does that. It’s always a process - you fill four holes and one more pops up (ewww).
Personally I think that the next step for this team would be dominate games and that means using the ball better and having more players who can of form in tight spaces and play possession football. Somewhat like the step Arsenal have taken recently or Liverpool a few years back. And based on what I’ve seen Sabitzer in midfield leaves us short on the passing front between him Casemiro and Bruno (ignoring creative through passes). He may be a squad option but a proper playmaker is needed.
And the next or just as important a change would the GK. That’s ETHs next big call. I think De Gea is an all time great but the way football is progressed I do feel a keeper who can pass will elevate us to a different level (along with that playmaker). Of course the worry is that can we deal with a bedding in time that the new keeper may take ? It’s a big call but I really hope we don’t fail to take that step to becoming a to side that smothers teams due to DDG being the safe and comfortable choice
