Should have had Walker's replacement signed sealed and delivered before we sold him, ridiculous.
I think people are just annoyed that this is a problem of our making. It's not bad luck, just bad management. We have to go away to Newcastle and take on Chelsea without a right wing-back if reports are to be believed. And even if Trippier is fit in time, we were lucky. This sort of situation shouldn't happen; not when you get a record fee for a right-back. Every season we always look at the start of the season and wonder if we'd started better, maybe we'd have finished higher in the league. And normally it's because our team isn't properly in place in August. We're risking the same again.
I want to add that overall I'm very happy with the management of the club (we're punching under Levy) but this is a repeat issue that doesn't get corrected, and I feel it costs us at the end of every season. How much money do we save from holding off on transfers? Are we net ahead even with the dodgy August results? I don't know but it's infuriating anyway.
So we have one fit senior full back going into the season.
He's not even a 'senior' player yet mate.
Wanyama and Son both appear in the most recent instagram videos with the caption preparations for Newcastle.
Waynama is pictured walking out with them to the fieldYeah Son fully featured contact training.No sign of vic though .
