It is a joke.
Last season they had 66 points.
Now they have 58 so 70 max (I doubt).
And they spent over 200m for Bruno, AWB, James and Maguire.
Referees help aside they would have less points than last season.
I know many mentioned Kovacic as player of the year but for me Pulisic with no doubt.
Argument was minutes played before but now Kovacic has just 338 minutes more in the league.
So Pulisic, Kova and Willian (as much as I dont like him) as top 3 players this season.
We made a couple of offers for Alex Sandro. Juve wanted way to much money in the end. Ox didn't want to play for Conte. Lukaku spent his summer holiday with Pogba back then and they probably made a deal to play together. Naingolan didn't want to leave Italy. Even in January VVD rejected us and City for Liverpool.
So for all these players no one really to blame. It was just frustrating situation.
