Thing is with most of them players it was an established proven fact that they were far from good enough or past their peak.
And the main gripe was that they were taking up places on the bench that would have been better served by academy players. Prime example being Mata
Sure it was maybe bad business that they left for nowt. But I'm ok with the replacements so far. There has to come a time where the youngsters are given a decent crack at showing what they've got. I'd rather that and learn from it than rushing out to sign bit parts.
Only thing they haven't been able to replace is dressing room dance clips after a loss or whilst out injured.
What I'm trying to say is that I'd rather be hitting this 10 in 30 stretch with the youngsters and learning what we have there as opposed to more proven average players where we already know that what we are getting is not good enough.
Despite this evening where he bizarrely got MOM I'm with you on Antony. Still not sold on him at all, price considering.
Sancho? No idea wtf is going on there. Really strange situation. The silver lining in all of it has been how well the club have kept things under wraps.
