Is it what 16 / 17 days left of the window?
I can't believe the summer and season we are moving into a brand spanking new stadium and the club haven't made a marquee signing....
In May we were supposedly spending £150 million this window and its now nearly August and the only deal which seems close is Grealish for circa 20 mill + add ons.
Now I know a lot can still happen in the next two weeks, but I really can't see us making the major statement signing this window and that's really disappointing. I can take the disappointment on the chin as a fan, even if we fail to address the weaknesses in the squad, but what I'm really worried about is the lack of ambitions it signifies to the squad and to Poch.
You can't tell me Poch isn't having glances over at how Liverpoo are addressing their weaknesses and be a little miffed. Even keeping Dembele and not signing a top new CM isn't really acceptable as Dembele clearly struggled last season and due to his age will very likely decine further and struggle even more this season.
And we as know from Rose last summer, players do take notice about incoming or lack of them and the subsequent ambition shown or lack of it.
Fingers crossed Levy pulls it out of the bag in the next two weeks. I'm not worried about Poch keeping us competitive for top 4, but I'm worried about him getting fed up over our clear inability to sign established stars which is what he needs to take us to the next level.
