The missed boat in the summer of 2018 will continue to haunt us. The decision to not start to overall the squad was shambolic. Now we play the likes of aurier dier rose and so on constantly
Agreed.
Lloris, Walker, Vertonghen, Alderweireld, Rose, Dembele, Dier(Wanyama), Eriksen, Dele, Kane, Son.
Our refusal to strengthen the squad (and the above team) in 2017/18 has been the foundation of this crazy situation.
I said at the time that it will haunt us for years. The mad delusionists ("the squad is strong enough") had us think otherwise.
They'll respond to this post with "who could we have purchased in those windows". I'll point them to the current state of our team - Aurier, Sissoko, Dier, Lucas, Rose, Lamela, Wanyama.
As I said at the time " a scandalous missed opportunity that will go down in our history"
If you have aspirations to the very top, hand your manager at least £75m every summer window, and clear out the dross ruthlessly.
