And do you think that one CB addition a week earlier would be the difference between qualifying (in the 1st 8) or not?
The fact that we’ve known since October that we needed a CB (even Giuntoli confirmed this shortly after Bremer’s injury) and we are here on the 21st January without one is a massive failure in and of itself. He’s had three months to scout/talk to/make deals with agents/clubs/players/intermediaries etc to get this done literally the moment the window opened.
And again, you and S4tch aren’t getting my point. It’s not about 1st or 8th in the CL. I’m saying we have reached the time of the calendar where the CL has returned and nothing has still been done. Do you think it’s normal that we’re in late January and we still haven’t signed a CB? Not even one?
Anyway - We actually need two CBs really. Given Cabal’s injury in November and us stupidly giving away Danilo for nothing. And the names we’ve been linked with are a pathetic joke…it really reminds me of the disaster mercato he had in January last year.
