Amen. We are nowhere near Ruthless enough. When you consider the depth of the top 3 we should have upgraded on
Jones,
Bailly/
Lindelof,
Matic,
Lingard,
Mata,
Williams. there are other players who don't have a long term future (some who are starters) but for now why have we held onto these players so long? Can you see them part of a squad vying to win the CL? We hold onto tag along players who contribute little to the day to day acquisition of points, wins and cups. Just paying salaries for the sake of it. We need to move on and be ruthless.
What kind of player? tell me exactly what "player" you see in there? give me a comparison.
There is a supposed uncut gem every season that the manager is supposedly missing and it is always wrong. Very rarely does a player who cannot prove it while here, go on and do something elsewhere. Sometimes it just is what our eyes tell us. They either good enough or they are not.
They signed Hazard for 100m, Jovic for 60m, they make bad signings too but they didn't even try to sign dude.
One of the least things I look forward to is "giving him a chance"
He is a mix between current Lingard + current Alli (no goals and assists) but also Cleverly when used in a deeper role.
not sure this is truthful
DOZENS of Dutch players featured regularly in the premier league for years, chalking up many appearances including the likes of;
Stam, Bergkamp, Gio, Van de Vaart, Ruud, Hasselbaink, Overmarz, Van De Sar, virgil van dijk, Van Persie, Gullit, Kuyt, Robben, Melchiot, Giji, Hans Segers, Michel Vonk, George Boateng, Nigel De Jong, Zenden, Daley Blind, Ken Monkou, Van Aarnholt, Tim Krul, De Zeeuw, Janmaat, Ake, Heitinga, Ed De Goey , Leroy Fer, Babel, Anita, Vorm, Collins John, Davy Propper
I would argue of all nations, Dutch are the most RELIABLE import to the premier league.
Ex Barca players include the likes of Cesc, Bellerin, Romeu, Yaya, Adama Traore, Arteta, Deulofeu, Alexis, Lucas Digne, Kiko Femenia, Martín Montoya, Andre Gomes, Pedro,
I am sure if other top players came they would do just fine.
