Never in doubt.
We never had any intention of buying anyone. I do understand that strikers in Jan are at a premium but we could have bought someone in to give us a little spark. A sign of intent.
We could have f***ked Sterling off back to Narnia and got Rashford on loan. Cover his wages and little no risk, bring the guy into a family environment and hope he kicks on, and if he does, great, £40m in the summer. If not, off you pop.
We could have bought Tel, or better yet Nico Williams. Anything, just something.
In the summer I have no doubt we’ll buy, but are we going to adequately replace who leaves?
Partey, Trossard, Jesus, Tierney Zinchenko & Jorginho at the least are all going or likely to be going. So we’re going to replace what we need out of them. Get a backup CB as well and get a striker and winger?
It just isn’t happening. Next season we’ll be the nearly men again and this 20 year perpetual cycle of always being 2-3 key players short will unfold yet again.
Players were available, we just chose not to sign anyone.
