Thinks Di Zerbi is better than Pep.
I was thinking when looking at the 2 teamsheets yesterday, and it really struck me just how bad our signings have been compared to other clubs.
Look at Liverpool's starting 11, I've bolded the players that've all been signed fairly recently by them and that are all really good signings...
Do you not think it's odd, surreal even, that we haven't got even 1, post Fergie signing that's been an undeniable success in our entire match day squad...
Then when you consider di Maria, Falcao, Sanchez, Bastien, Depay, Morgan...
The miss ratio is actually phenomenal considering the wages of the people who's job it is to scout and sign these players.
Zlatan is probably the closest thing to an out and out successful signing, and he was a mid 30s striker who many didn't enjoy watching play.
So what's going on? Why are all these players being signed - or, why are they all failing? It's a genuine question.
Look at City's recent signings...
Mahrez
Sané
Laporte
Stones
Mendy
Walker
Arsenal -
Aubameyang
Lacazette
Torreira
Kolasinac
We can out-spend every team in the PL bar citeh, yet we literally can't field 1 successful signing...
I dunno, when you put it that simply, it just seems bizarre. Like, beyond 'bad management' etc, and closer to some kind of strange achievement.
It appears that it would be difficult to maintain that kind of miss ratio with the amount of money spend over 3 different managers!
