This or maybe Potter wants these mediocre players and is bad in the transfermarket. The big issue is moving these players on when they inevitably fail. I read rumours about us wanting to get rid of Koulibaly already, good luck doing that after we gave him a long contract on big wages. I reckon Romelu will still be on the books 2 years from now as well. This club is getting assassinated in front of our eyes with all these big long contracts on all kind of average players. At some point the owner won't be able to buy anyone even if he is willing to keep spending because we won't be able to shift the deadwood.

I'd argue the positivenes is borderline embarrassing in the last few years regarding us. People would gladly close their eyes and pretend Lukaku, Olmo, Rice, Koulibaly and others are world class plauers instead of admitting they are mediocre football players who combined have zero chance of taking us to the top. All our hope resides in some youngsters we bought and hope they turn good because for certain Rice and Olmo won't.

Badiashite, Olmo and Rice, great signings to complete the transition to an average Top 10 premier league team. We're done at the top level with these guys no matter if Potter or Guardiola is the manager.

Another player who delivers once in a blue moon and wants to take us for ransom. I really hope we get rid of all of these guys starting with Mendy and Mount both whom aren't good enough but feel the need to be paid like kings. The owner reportedly wanting to extend him for 6 years deprives me of any hope for the foresaw future of us getting back to the top anytime soon.

Think everyone agrees spending that hefty fee for Gvardiol is worth it, if not in the short term in the long run, we had a chance in the summer yet the owner for some reason decided not to give into Leipzig's demands after a summer where he overpaid massively for just about everyone. I saw Cucurella get skinned alive by a 16 years old guy last week but the owner had no problem overpaying for him but somehow pulled the plug on Gvardiol, what a strange person, for someone who talks about data when recruiting he seems to do the complete opposite, although maybe Cucurella will turn good at some point so far signs don't point to it.

It's most likely fake news, Di Marzio said it's us and Madrid.
