At the end of the day, they rarely delivered. I think combined both of them have 2 or 3 goals versus the murdering cunts and rags, which is not enough.
Win or lose trophies, at the end of the season we will be in a difficult situation: Walker, Gundo, Fern, Kevin, Mahrez are getting older by the day and at least two of them are not at the levels they used to be.
Mendy is in prison, Zinch is in a terrible situation, while Sterling and Jesus I've mentioned above.
So we need to buy at least 3 players, but, as it became a custom, we will either get someone like Haaland and that will be the end of it. I remember having a thread last year here if we are an aging squad. Well, it starts to look that way.
I'd get rid of Sterling but i don't agree at all on the aging squad.
The only one of the 5 players you mention getting older by the day who's at the end of his career is Fern. The other 4 no chance.Mahrez never relied on pace so he's got a few years, Walker is as fast as ever. Kev is our best player and Gundo doesn't rely on pace so he's got a good few years as well. I can't work out who the 2 are you refer to, there's only Fern for me.
I think we've bought well from an age point of view. Ederson, Cancelo, Stones, Laporte, Dias, Grealish, Bernardo, Rodri, all yet to reach or are at the peak of their careers. Jesus is young and a decent squad player for me then we have Foden and the Academy kids coming through.
If we get Haaland this summer and someone like Declan Rice who's a massive upgrade on Rodri we'll be fine for years.
