Oh how accurate Poch was with his 'Painful rebuild' quotes. Whether he saw this coming I don't know, but it's depressing to think that
Toby/Jan/Eriksen all probably leaving on a free in the summer (they aren't going in January so that can be forgotten)
That's 3 first team, and key players during Pochs time that are leaving for nothing, and will cost North of 150m to replace unless we get lucky and unearth a gem (which we haven't done for years, even Clarke can't get a game for Leeds now)
Rose wants/wanted to go, or was being pushed in the summer
Our right back options are a joke and again likely to cost 50m to sort. Aarons would be an option but someone like Everton are more likely to take a punt on him while we piss about and then he'll cost 80 in 2 years.
The form of Alli has absolutely nosedived
Still no sign of an adequate backup/rotation/partner for Kane. I'd love us to go back in for Dybala but considering our deficiencies, the money is probably best spent on a RB.
That's before we even get to Poch and the fact that whenever Madrid see fit to sack Zidane, he'll be the first person they call.
So in theory, worst case scenario. We end the season (however good/bad it goes) with no Toby, Jan, Eriksen, Rose and Poch.
When you look at the youth the scum have coming through too it is a sad state of affairs. For all our magnificent facilities, maybe Parrott aside, and even that's purely out of necessity we've got no youth anywhere near breaking through.
Depressing
