You know that time when we could buy tchouameni for a steal?
Our board too slow and penny pinched way too much
Tempted to say we should've just kept Gallagher, but we all know he wouldn't have developed the way he has. We missed out on tchouameni, ignored digne to at least help out our lwb position, and to top it all off we let go of zouma, guehi,and tomori, while failing to secure our number one target in kounde.
Tuchel's chances of success were severely slashed from the start. I think the new owners and director of football could be a huge blessing in disguise, and a timely one at that too. Marina is amazing with negotiations but at the end of the day she's concerned with the business side of things, and less about personnel.
This impacted our player acquisition severely where we gawked at Sevilla's insistence on a slightly increased fee,because we took so damn long to come to an agreement at the end of the window. Classic marina. However, where other clubs have bent to her will in the past, sevilla didn't and we wound up looking like fools as we somehow managed to successfully weaken a crucial position after a CL winning season!
Sound familiar? Carlo and conte know all about it 😉
