We are losing Bernard and might not have enough focus to close deal for midfielder (Kovacic/Rabiot/Samassekou/etc).. let alone offloading deadweights.
We didn’t loose Bernard. He wanted to bid his time to get the best deal financially. The contract offer he got from Everton was much better than what we would have paid him, so it was never up to us, unless we would have paid him a ridiculous amount to close him down, I’m glad that we didn’t do that.
Leo has spent his time well, the deal he struck with Caldara and Higuain was worth every second. Give him some credit and wait until the market close before you worry, so far he has done nothing but exceed all expectations. A month ago we were still talking about Simone Zaza and Badelj, now it is Higuain and SMS/Rabiot/Kovacic/Bakayoko.
