Interesting points. And who knows, maybe Mitchell was a bit right in that the strategy wasnt right? So far, it seems he was spot on.

Also, like you point out, for how long is the likes of Bruno, Tonali etc, going to stay when they see that our squad hasnt improved one bit since they joined... scary thoughts.

To stretch it even further, maybe the saudis are happy with that. A bit like Ashley on steriodes.
