I think the issue for me is there's no real plan. So you'll end up with a mish mash of players that he has to blancmange together into a team.

If there's anything those other teams do well, and massively cheaper, is have a defined set of playing styles and recruit to roles.

Starting at the 'top' and working down is the route to Walcott, Bolasie, and Sigurdson and then trying to force them onto a team.

Maybe you're right actually. With your first response. And we just aren't there yet. But it seems everyone, except for the likes of us and West Ham who know how to do it properly.
