On a side note, we did excellent business with Laca and Kolasinac early on but since then the window has been quite disappointing not just because of lack of new acquisitions in areas we desperately seek like CM and GK,but also the departure of Gabriel and the likely departure of Ox as well. When you see money is not an object even for mid table clubs on account of new TV money it is not accurate to suggest we can buy anyone if we have cash. I hope and pray we get a CM, GK and replacements for Gabriel and Ox[if he leaves] because otherwise what seemed like a good window has turned out a nightmare with Ozil and Sanchez not signing extensions, Ox and Gab leaving, No CM and NO Gk.
Where is the time? Season has already started. It is terrifying to see our options in the middle of the park especially the backup ones and Cech looks to have aged by a decade from least season and he wasn't exactly spring chicken last year. I don't see us signing CM, CB, GK, RWB in the remaining days. The point iam trying to make is why should we make do and try and adjust when we simply have no reason to do so. I hope this window will not leave us with an after taste like the earlier ones where we always fell showrt of a couple of signings short of challenging properly. This window we are taking a huge risk leaving everything so late and it is a risk should not be taking.
