I think we can assume that the team looks like it does because of the decisions and requirements by directors and our manager(s). Else why take the job. Then I think we are closer to some truth than guessing which journalists desperate stories are true.
Regarding Morata, why do we have to make his deal permanent? Its obvious and always has beeen obvious, that a striker is pretty useless if he isnt getting any service. Before the midfield and fullbacks are fixed, nothing should be spent on Morata or any other offensive player, imo.
