I would put Hegazi in the same category of great value signings - would have to say we would definitely be in a much better place defensively with him playing instead of either Ivanovic or Bartley
Sale now looks a lot worse than it did at the time
This is where I also disagree with fans about Bilic having no financial support - we broke as transfer record 3 months ago. We’ve never even remotely spent that following any previous promotion.
Our expensive players, namely Grant & Diangana (at circa £25m plus) are just not doing anywhere near enough
Lots of focus on initial £20m ish outlay, but commitment on players is well over £40m and in my view that does make some of the performances this season unacceptable
Yes, you lose but the manner of some defeats has been dreadful.
To me we lack organisation & discipline and I think squad is underachieving, albeit we’re hamstrung with what we have to play in central defence
