Quite conflicted on buying a new CM now. With so much potential in winks Onomah Amos TOB Skipp it’s slmost tempting to give dembele one more season and let the rest fight it out to see if one can really step up. Although winks is the most likely be interesting to see if any of the others could stake a serious claim. Just so much more satisfying than spunking £50m on someone.
I'd be careful about reading too much into the pre-season friendlies.
We smashed Roma at WHL the summer before the infamous '2 points from 8 games' start to the season, which ended with the team bottom of the league in October and the manager getting sacked.
I know the cameras are always on these games now, but let's call it what it is - a training exercise.
Agree with the other comments about shape though, and it's nice to see Poch trying a few different ideas. They could prove very useful in the season.
