Then you have underlined the point. No player was coming in unless it involved the Lukakau deal. You think Ole was waiting all summer till the last few days of the window to bring in Mandzukic or Dybala?
Then why wait up until deadline day to get in Mandzikic when the player was clearly not wanted at Juve and we could have easily got him in the beginning of pre-season, especially since Ole mentioned he wanted transfer business to be done early?Erm, it's been pretty widely reported we still tried to sign Mandzukic after the other deal fell through but we couldn't agree terms. Ole's also mentioned several times in interviews that he thinks we're a bit light up top even with Alexis still here. He's also been careful not to throw youngsters in the deep end but ease them in instead. You're delusional if you think this is what Ole wants.
We were looking to offload Lukaku. Dybala and Mandzukic were real sweeteners and up until that point we weren't really in to Dybala.
We didn't bring in a CF and up to the point we were about to swap Lukaku we haven't really been linked with one - except Ben Yedder, who also has been pretty much available.
Do you honestly believe if Ole was adamant in bringing Mandzukic or Yedder since the start of the window our board wouldn't be capable of getting them or just we got desperate in the last week and as always used our scattered desperate approach?
