What’s certain is that we have left ourselves a lot to do in the summer, essentially we have only managed to improve one position whilst thinning our numbers quite significantly. What I found most surprising is that we seemed to be going after Vlahovic, a striker, then did a 180 after he sold to Juve and tried to get Diaz, a LW. If we had got Vlahovic we would have had to change our system to two up top, but with Diaz it would very much have been a 3. On top of that Diaz’s best position is LW, the same as Son, and as much as Son can play RW he’s not as dangerous on his left foot so why spend that amount on a player that would force us to move our second best player into a less favourable position. Dembele or Dybala at least would have made some sense as RW could do with an upgrade even tho I think Dembele especially would have been an injury nightmare.
All in all I don‘t think we can really judge until summer but thus far I’m not overly convinced and this window I certainly wouldn’t call a success.
