Had no choice, they wanted out otherwise they would all still be here.
People keep using this as a stick to beat our board/manager, simple answer is, they tried very hard to keep them.
Lukaku is the only one who's improved those teams.
At the end of the day it's night lol mate I get what you mean but all 3 ALL 3 wanted to go no matter.
If this sell to buy thing comes into equation then they're is plenty of questions ahead.
I understand where all of you are coming from. I'm just stating the reality of the situation.
We tried very hard to keep Stones, and I think we would have kept him too if our fans didn't boo and terrorise him into oblivion. (The incident where some 'blues' made the lad cry as he was going about his day outside of the footy).
I think we are further away from closing the gap on those teams now, than we were one season ago. Obviously this is the pessimist in me speaking, but I can't help but feel that way and I hope that we can pull the rabbit out of the hat in these final hours of the transfer window to improve the situation.
Also, plus 1 for the joke Matt lol.
