That is the real issue here. Everyone knows we need more players than Sancho alone. Even Ole said this at the end of last season. I have said it before our recruitment is not up to scratch really. We seem to start pursuing players when the transfer window is officially open. I doubt we do any ground work before that, in an informal way which so many clued up and well run professional teams do. Bayern, Real and Barca always do this.
Without a dedicated Director of Football we will always find ourselves in this situation.

He really needs to set up a professional team who are good at their job instead of entrusting everything in his University friend Matt Judge who clearly is not a seasoned football operator.
