Exactly how I feel. There seems to be this notion that there aren't any affordable players who would walk straight into the first time (which is true for some positions, but not all), but we absolutely need a stronger squad overall. Our first 11 is great, but they can't play every game and we always get injuries.I'm not asking to spend loads of money. I was thinking along the same lines as Son. There must be a player playing in the top 5 leagues that's similar quality to him or about his level (when he was at Leverkusen as last season he surpassed what we expected) that we could get for a sensible price that wouldn't cost the earth in wages.
That's what I thought our new scouts were meant to be doing. Finding players to improve the squad. Not finding much at the moment it seems from outside the club.
