Eh, I think we did better than we have recently at least! I definitely agree with your philosophy towards squad building but I do think we adhered to that better than we have recently. No Bakayoko, Drinkwater, Zappacosta, Emerson, etc.I don't disagree, I just don't think you invested in the right areas in the summer and your approach seemed to be simply getting lots of players in that were available rather than specific targets to fit a vision.
Unusual for you guys. I think you would have been better saving on a couple of them, trusting what you had last season, and going for one real top player in a key position. You know?
Overall I think we viewed (correctly) as a buyer's market and took advantage to the extent we could. Agreed that we could have optimised better but given who was available overall I don't think we did too badly. I am very much biased, however!
