Man City (not that I'd want him back) aren't going to sell us Sterling for example.
Which leaves us needing to move a player or two on, which is all very well if clubs are willing to buy them - which they weren't. Genuine offers for lads like Origi didn't really materialise.
Karius will depart soon which will free up a slot, which hopefully gives us a little wiggle-room.
We can loan a couple, Minamino for a start to get the Monaco lad in for midfield, it is fucking well overdue that we stop pissing around not getting these lads from Monaco when they make their first big move and then spend seasons chasing them still, just make the player and Monaco a horses head in the bed offer, we'll be offering him first team football for a start and not a bit part role like Chelsea or City would be and we have Jurgen
