Summer Transfer Temps and Journeymen

[selassie]

The recruitment at this club is a complete shambles, I didn't think things could get any worse but they have. Mikel keeps on telling us to trust the process, yet between him and Edu they have been unable to close any of the deals, such as Aouar and Partey, we have had all summer to do it and a free run at both players, only Arsenal could manage to make a mess of such easy deals. We couldn't even sign Brentford's keeper, I mean how can we screw up any deal we go for...it's mind boggling.

To top it off, half of the outgoings are based on the interested clubs letting go of players themselves. We had a great opportunity to strengthen the team this summer and we failed.

Also...why are we so keen to let our Midfield depth walk without replacements? Are we going with a Xhaka / Elneny / Ceballos / Saka midfield all season, I mean isn't anybody coming in? I don't mean loans with no obligation to buy either, this club is like a rat down a drainpipe when it hears of players at clubs such as Chelsea and United are surplus to requirements, small time fc.

This club makes me sick.

P.S. If money is the issue, why are we shopping in a market that is beyond us, why not target players that are affordable? It makes no sense to me....
