Another fascinating insight Billy! Was iffy when the rumours first came out, but I guess you can't understate the experience Jorginho has, especially given our cover in midfield. I'm still hopeful that there is a player in Lokonga, despite all the hiccups. Hope Vieira can make a player out of him yet!
Thanks for the great post Billy. It's not the dream signing but I'm relieved we made it considering the lack of depth in midfield. Relatively low-risk in terms of price and contract length and we sign a proven PL player.
We may not have gotten our dream signings on the wing or in midfield but we've gotten depth at relatively low cost. Excited for the future and what Edu will be grilling up.
Well said. What was nice was that the bids revealed a budget with some serious 0's behind it, so long as they considered the value right. They didn't ultimately get that value in the big deals, but managed to upgrade the team for the short-term as if they did. Hopefully the saved dough gets put to good use in the summer.
