Can & Henderson athleticism should see us phase that position out. Dont think for example you'd see Germany play with a sitting mf player. I think thats why we bought Can and not a DM or DLM (whatever you wanna call it). Also why we will let Lucas go

Also think there is a big name coming in, Vidal or Pedro or someone

Or does there have to be a 'star' signing to make it a successful one? And is the 'star' signing necessary purely because we lost Suarez and/or have £75m to spend, even though everyone knows Suarez can't be replaced? Personally I think once we sort out the needs in our defence, then I'd be happy enough with how the window has gone. You never know which players will work and which won't, teams have bought potential and it's paid off big time, and teams have bought world class players and it's just never worked out. There just are no guarantees. I've no issues with us still having a chunk of the £75m left unspent when the window closes, we shouldn't spend just 'cos we have money. Of course, if the new players don't gel, that's the first thing that will get thrown at the club, 'why didn't we spend'? But we seem to have bought players to strengthen our squad, and our first team, in the areas we need them, and they look like the kind of players that will suit our playing style. Only time will tell of course, as it always does... J.
