I would not argue much of this. Trippier and Pope perhaps not, due to age and no really sell-on potential.I genuinely think most are a bit gutted about what’s happened so far this summer. The expectations were much higher than the reality
Every signing so far could have been made under Ashley and very similar ones were
Human nature is to get excited. Expectation would have been greater than reality at most clubs. Yes there were those idiots expecting / appearing to actually expect signings of M'Bappe levels. A modicum of common sense is all that is needed to temper such thought. In 10 years time, after sustained success, then possibly.
Not really sure what point you are trying to make here?
