Do you really think he wanted to get rid of Tripps without bringing anyone else in? Or Dembele without having someone signed up already? We had a threadbare squad last year, no manager would want that.
Pretty much, yes. He has been outspoken on the concept of having more players than he can play, and about reducing the squad size. With that said, he had Aurier and KWP at RB, and spoke about using Foyth there, and I think that was so he could integrate him, not because he didn't have other options.
It's hard to accept because it's counter-intuitive to what we think (as fans), but you can't be apologetic and blame anyone but Poch for those things.
