Add to that, most of the other big wealthy clubs have huge squad problems.
Liverpool, United, Woolwich all have very suspect positions in their squad
Any of those lose a key defender or CM and they are in trouble too.
The idea that we are the only wealthy club lacking quality depth is showing some of the posters on here to have terrible football knowledge.
I go back to the 2018 of shite when everyone was focusing on us not signing anyone but I was equally pissed off that we hadn’t sold anyone either that window.
Our problem is that we’ve had since then to get our ducks in a row or even (here’s the best bit) learn from it and get ourselves in a position where we move these players on effectively.
But we haven’t and we continue not to. It’s why we are sat here with almost ten players we need rid of. Sure other clubs want rid of players, but it’s not that many.
I desperately want another striker and centre back in but I doubt we will get them. But if we manage to sell (not loan) hojbjerg, Sanchez, Tanganga, Dier, ndombele, Lo Celso, Lloris, Regullion or even sell half of them before Saturday then I’ll be somewhat pleased. It’s ridiculous we are in this position again though for the sixth summer in a row. It’s incompetence of the highest order.
