Thought I'd repost this....
I wonder how it works:
Board: So have you identified the players we need?
Manager: Yes, we need a few defenders and a midfielder urgently
Board: Ok
Manager: Great, here's my list...
(Time passes)
Board: Great news! Those players you wanted, well forget about them, but here's a Striker!!!
Manager: WTF!!!
Board: Also, we have sanctioned a move for a new winger...
This sees to be the Chelsea way
....
Hazard on the left and Mahrez on the right would be amazing, don't get me wrong - but it's defence and midfield where we struggle, we don't have a fluid transition from defence to attack, we need at least a LB as Baba still seems out of favour as well as a CB and maybe Dave isn't the ideal player for us anymore... Just seems crazy that every season for the past 5 or 6 seasons we've signed at least 1 winger - when other areas need more attention...
that at said the rumour is likely bollox ???
