We've bought a few squad players in, who now look like they're going to be starting. Kolo Toure, I'm sure, was brought in as experienced cover, he's now our starting CB. Iago Aspas is a starting player for us. Any quality players we were in for, we've missed out on, with Willian going to Spurs, Mkhitaryan going to Dortmund, and Costa staying at Atleti.
We will be nowhere near the likes of Spurs and even Arsenal by the end of the year, sad to say.
Dammit El Cholo way to dampen my baseless optimism right as I was at the peak of my Scouse boom-bust cycle!
