While Alonso is doing himself few favours these past couple of games I stand by what I said about BlueCo massively failing him in the window, and that has shown its head all season to date.
They are generally master sales people. Sure they get some losses in there too, have to eek out some loan money.
They got their priority though, handsome profits on Enzo, Delap, Jackson, etc. That mattered more than building Alonso a complete squad.
Imagine having the expectation of top 4, some say privatly they thought they could win the title..., when you set up to only be an injury away to Caicedo from your engine being 2 or 3 from:
The mostly always broken Lavia, footballing wise a 19 year old in a 22 year olds broken body.
The regularly injured Reece James, who is not capable of the mobility needed anymore to be a top level midfielder.
A 36 year old Jordan Henderson who is gassed at 20 minutes in.
And Plucky little Barco.
Oh and not to forget "internal solution" 2.0 emergency option Malo Gusto....
Thats a midfield I'd think capable to "help" Spurs go 1 better than their double 17s and f off to the championship, but instead they are helping us to aim for PL records we don't want.
2 down 3 to go. F off Clearlake Wyss.
