Ah, the old chestnut about not having CL affecting sighings. Does anyone really believe that?JJ dropping bombs in the Toby thread!! Comments below:
There is a lot more to the Toby story than you guys will ever know which sounds inflammatory but put it this way, I dont expect him to be at the club next season and if he gets a new contract then i dont expect Poch to be there....
Personally we know that we need new full backs too and a CM maybe 2- Eriksen is replaceable as are the full backs.
with good players being worked on- in saying that we had an agreed deal for De Jong last summer only for his #***** agent to renege at the 11th hour! We had Pulisic at the training ground for 2 days in January only for Chelsea to do their usual on us on money.
or buy N'Dombele which we also thought we were close to last summer until Aulas went and slapped a 75M price on him
Loads being worked on as was the case last summer- but deals fell through for Wanyama N'Koudou, Dembele, Victor which affected our squad and spend- if you all knew who will be leaving this summer you would and wouldn't be surprised but as we sit here today i'm expecting big changes. Now if we don't secure Champs League it completely changes that so we have to have 2 options and cant be as proactive as we want.
At least it seems the club is aware players are needed.
We’ve had it three years and barely attracted any coups in the transfer market, whilst Arsenal and Chelsea having attracted - Aubameyang, Lacazette, Pulisic, Kovacic, Higuain without CL.
Players obviously want to play in the CL but in the end money talks and is what gets deals done.
