That’s definitely part of it but how many summers did we end up doing the bulk of our transfer business after the first couple of poor results? We rarely entered a season with the squad complete.
Last summer was the first time in ages we’d actually conducted our business in time, and I think that tells us something about what was going on before.
It’ll be interesting to see if we actually do whatever business we want in a timely fashion this summer. I guess we have to with the window closing early now, so we’ll only prepare accordingly when we’re forced to.
Sweet Xmas period though. Bournemouth (a) on boxing day, Chelsea (h) and then United (h) on New Years Day. Not too much travel even if the quality of teams are high.
Massive pressure from the start. Its to be hoped the boardroom have a plan and Emery needs to voice his needs now.
Not optimistic at all but we can but dream on all fronts. Start getting drastic now Arsenal or like in January you will reap what you sow.
