I think frank is rolling the dice on this year, in order to focus on the long term. Most of the players we were linked to in the January window were short term help. Cavani makes us better for the next 4 months, then what? He’s 32, he’s not a long term solution. Anyone remember higuain?

Love the ziyech signing, he’s young (relatively) and the type of world class player you can build upon for years to come. This is where I think frank is going. Not top four this year to qualify to get bounced in the first knockout round of CL next year, but building a squad that can actually sustain the challenge to win trophies over the longer term.

The guard is still changing. Frank is still tinkering, and I for one still believe he might just be a mad genius after all.

I ride with Frank. all you chicken littles, you ought to be ashamed of yourselves.

I know what you're saying, but given how much everybody sucks and the fact that 5th place might actually qualify, Frank has to get us qualified for Champions League. If you want to bring in Sancho or Haaland or Koulibaly or any other big difference maker, you have to be playing in that competition.
