Its certainly a bit of a mess, if ETH hadnt known was in store for him already, he certainly does now. The indecisiveness continues at the helm, with this farcical Ronaldo situation not helping to say the least. That needs to be dealt with quickly, but his wage demands wont make it easy. I would prefer to see him out before the end of the week tbh, no chance of moving forward with that shit going on.
The two imminent signings are a start at least, although its really hard to evaluate the Eriksen one in particular. Himself and Fernandes possibly dont work in the same side, outside of Fernandes playing as a false 9, which given their lack of options up top, might not be a bad shout.
If they cant beat Bumnal to Martinez you would have to worry and it seems more likely than not that De Jong signs. Apart from possibly Antony, not much else looks likely, with a top 4 finish looking increasingly unlikely.
Could be a breakthrough year for one or two of the following - Mejbri, Iqbal, Laird, Garnacho, Fernandez (if he stays), Garner, Mengi, McNeill (absolutely prolific at underage level). He will have no choice but to call on these players and I`d be surprised if a couple of these werent squad regulars by the second half of the season.
