As for the above clearly far too simplistic to say give them time and they will come good. Thats why we have such a turnover to begin with. Sosa, Jota, Freuler, Aguilera, Shelvey, Scarpa, Turner, Miguel, just in the recent past, plenty more, none of them good enough.
You may say we have bought at a higher level and those with a potential to grow in value. Maybe, at least thats the plan. But any idiot can splash £30m on a young winger, there were dozens to choose from last summer. The trick is to find the right fit for the club and how we want to play. Which is tricky when you have 3 managers in 3 months with diametrically opposed styles. Thats is where you go back to having a strategy and yet again I don’t think we have one. Its Edu’s job to sort this stuff out.
He was implying that the new signings have unsettled existing players if I read it write? That was my query.
Of the new signings, I'd say Hutch, N'Doye and Jesus look pretty settled. Savona has done fine with what he has and Luiz has looked good on average when fit.
Which signings do you feel weren't good or necessary at the time? Only Kali and McAtee that haven't played much. Perhaps Nuno had plans to use McAtee more. Kali hasn't suited the system but perhaps he'd have suited Nuno better.
Difficult to judge the suitability post Nuno really.
