Why did you sign the number of players you did without sending more out on loan?

Tresor was Belgian player of the year tbf - I think there was a lot of excitement surrounding the signing at the time. It hasn’t worked out.

My question would be as above - have you learnt anything from this season?

I guess we forgot to factor in that all those assists in the Belgium league don't translate to the PL.

Why didn’t you start this season with as many players as you could from last seasons championship winning well oiled and bonded team with a winning habit and integrate the new players into that team
If you knew you weren’t going to play last years players why didn’t you cash in on them when their stock was at the highest point

Did the signing look good at the time? c£17m on a player who gets assists in a poor league. Especially given the fact we didn't need another winger, we needed a CDM and a LB. It was a high risk deal and unfortunately it's an expensive failure.

Cynically, you could say the resale value of wingers is vastly higher than defenders. Brand Kompany wants low buy high sell situations.
