Agreed, time to step it up.

Trossard was an excellent signing after the Mudryk bullet was dodged.

It's still concerning how hard they were pursuing him..

Mudryk is weird one. I never watched him in the CL for Shaktar, so my only opinion of him is in a Chelsea jersey, which over the years has been a nightmare for quite a few talented attacking players. I'm really torn cause I can't tell if he is bad or if everyone at Chelsea is just playing bad.

Don't get me wrong, he has his moments of brilliance and I can see why we would have pursued him, just not for anything over 30m.

agreed - I was swept up in the pursuit of him but in retrospect I'm glad we didn't end up with him.

I hope I still feel like that in 5 years. Or maybe we get him on clearance in 3 years.

We bid too high and showed poor judgement, at least to that degree.

A mixed bag when it comes to transfers.
