Oh, I entirely agree. It just annoys when the pundits keep papping on about getting fresh legs in January when they patently isn't the case.Integration becomes harder for the current season granted but integration becomes easier for the following season - see Lucas who whilst hasnt been off the charts sensation he has fit in relatively well.
Ofcourse this comes at a premium but depends on what is the priority for Poch and what our targets and objectives are for next season. There is also another approach which is to buy extremely early so the players have enough time to have the full pre-season and acclimatise but that does take longer than expected (see Fabinho/Keita at Liverscum)
