Morsy not needed at the time, already had a number of central midfielders and imo he hasn’t improved the team one iota compared with what we already had.
Watmore has worked out well so far, Akpom is a disaster, the pound shop Fleming right back is poor and now injured for a year (possibly a blessing in disguise although we now have Pettier as back up which is another worry), Mendez-Laing and the 4 loan signings last year were ineffectual in the main.
So one decent signing last year. Signings so far this year do not indicate any increase in quality, let’s hope they are all squad fillers and we get in another 6 or so with the quality needed to target the top six, which is what the manager is after presumably.
A midfield of Morsy, Howson and Tavernier, front 3 of Watmore, Ameobi and Ikpeazu makes me shudder. That’s we have as it stands. Worrying lack of creativity and goals.
