Bad.
Onana -> I think we did alright here. Wouldn’t have been my first choice, but he is a good keeper and is put in a sane salary. Slightly overpaid for him.
Mount -> ETH should have been vetoed for this signing. It makes no sense at all. His salary is also crazy (x3 in what he was on Chelsea). I think this is gonna be a Maguire type of signing.
Hojlund -> not clear to me cause have not seen a lot of him, but based on number of goals he has scored and ‘youtube scouting’ looked like we overpaid for him.
Second keeper -> ok I guess
Reguilon -> very cheap so it should not matter but also not a fan of signing players that are third choice for Spurs.
Amrabat -> great signing for the money we spent.
Sales:
McTominay -> big feck up in our side for not getting West Han’s bid. We will not get more money for him.
Maguire -> another feck up for not pressuring Maguire to leave.
Henderson -> Good, I think. Hard to imagine getting more for him.
Elanga -> great fee.
VdB -> sad that we couldn’t sell him.
Bailly -> we weren’t going to sell him cause no one would touch him, he is Jones 2.0
Telles and the kids -> good.
I think the main issue is that despite we spent around 200m, and more than 100m in net, we are not closer to challenging than we were. I think there were better combinations of signings that would have allowed to get closer (for example buying Kane/Osimehn, Kim and another midfielder for Mount, Hojlund, Maguire and McTominay money. Heck even keeping De Gea/Henderson for another season while signing a top striker, a top midfielder and a top defender would have brought us closer). I also hate that we are doing what we always do, go for manager’s signings. And like we did with Antony last year, we did the same mistake with Mount on giving to them a far larger salary than they should be on, which makes them unsellable.
I think he should be one of the first sackings from the next regime, assuming that Glazers finally sell the club.
