That's a lot of excuses for this shambles of a window so far.
It's not to excuse the club, but we have to acknowledge that we've made a lot of changes to the back room staff. They are basically starting afresh also with Ten Hag coming in who would need to assess the players to know who would fit and who would have to go.
Unlike our rival Arsenal or Spurs who knew what they needed to do before the end of last season (in arsenal case they've had continuity for over 3years ). Not to mention City and Liverpool.
Compare with Chelsea and you'll see we have almost the same issues at least they are 1.5 year into Tuchel reign (abeit with a new board)
Then transfers are not so straightforward. You have to look no further than the Haaland deal which was just signed today or the Sterling to Chelsea who is still to sign.
This transfer window is not about how fast we are but wether the ones we do sign if they would improve us(quicken the transaction). Yes I think Malacia would add dynamism and competition to the team and the De Jong deal (if it does goes through) would improve the quality of the midfield a lot. I think many would agree that Eriksen definitely adds quality
Then we've got players like Sancho and Varane who have shown to be world class or the potential to be world class. Then there is Bruno and Rashford (hopefully he gets back on form) who will definitely play better.
