It's not exactly the same situation is it? Unless I've missed something we've bombed out of absolutely all of the competitions this season and been battered on a fairly regular basis? Being a supporter I would've thought the idea of signing a potentially world class player would be welcomed, encouraged and possibly might be something to get excited about? Not saying you aren't excited about it but it comes across as though you are seeking to moderate our expectations in case we all have high hopes or something similarly outrageous
It would be great to have world class mids
But the point is you donât need to have them
The issues this season are not just about the midfield
We won multiple trophies without a world class midfielder- because we had midfielders that did a solid job
The likes of Henderson , Gini etc were ripped apart for years because they didnât score enough or create enough
But what they did do was fill in the gaps when the likes of TAA and Robbo went forward , they covered for the likes of Mo etc tracking back
For that they needed lots of energy and work rate - thatâs been missing this season during the away games and itâs not just those in the middle
The club will bring in those sort of midfielders- one maybe a Bellingham/Rice etc or it could be under the radar players that the club have scouted and know will do that job.
Itâs about getting the right players in and the players the management want
