Last season, we spent a huge amount of money. Unfortunately only 1/2 (Bergwijn and maybe Lo Celso, although I'd argue he's only been alright given the amount we invested in him) out of 6 of those players has worked out so far - the other four have all been disappointing, and Ndombele especially so of course. We're not the type of club which can just forget about that and sign another bunch of big-money players instead, especially with Covid and no CL - we've made our bed, and until we can move them on we've got to lie in it and make the best of them. In another year or two when hopefully Covid is gone, Ndombele is either good or gone and the stadium is printing us money again it'll be a different matter, especially if we're back in the CL. Until then we've got to buy smart rather than big as the ITK suggests - and given our record when we have tried to go big maybe that's no bad thing.Like all the big club signings we did during the years we were in the CL
