Obviously the loss of Che will be damaging to us but it was inevitable he would go and the money we got for him seems to allow us to strengthen elsewhere.
We have replaced Morrison with Clarke Salter. Some will be happy with that and some won’t. I think it is a positive as with the new style of play, Morrison wouldn’t have fit and he would definitely not want to go from Captain to bench player so it was better to let him go.
Gardner for Jota is something I am actually happy about as Gardner was better than Jota last season and it reduces the wages. Jota can be class but not consistently. Also, the signing of Crowley is a clear replacement for Jota and is someone who I think can be better. (Not signing Mahoney is also a massive positive as it would have been a waste)
And Now, Sunjic could be the player we have needed for a long, long time. Massively improves our midfield (our weakest position last season) and is a big statement signing.
Now, for the remainder of the pre season I would look to sign two new attackers - one tall dominant player and a more creative, speedy player (Mir and Nmecha / Enobakhre would fit that perfectly). I would also look to get rid of Vassell as I don’t think we would need him and I have seen a couple million offered for him which would further balance our books. A back up Right Back would be good as well but I’m not being greedy.
