Given Jurgen said he wanted all the new lads in early Edwards is certainly taking his time about things, it's frustrating and unsettling after what happened last summer and in January
FSG need to wake up and realise that a football club needs constant investment and you can't just make do with sub standard never fit squad players
It's like they think "We bought Mane, Salah, Wijnaldum, Van Dijk, Allison, Robertson etc where does it end"
Well, it never ends, players age like everyone else, if you buy players one or two a season when you need almost an entirely new squad like when Jurgen arrived, by the time you've add enough players over 4 seasons for your team to challenge for top honours and give you the platform to massively increase the clubs commercial performance
The players you bought over 5 years to achieve that need refreshing or replacing, as the game has moved on and other sides who do invest in their team and squad have improved, some of the players you bought who were good enough, are no longer good enough.
It's why you can never stand still, the owners have to look for the constant evolution in the playing side and to keep continuity by bringing new emerging players and a couple of more proven highly rated and sought after players who don't come cheap in to play with the current best for a season or 2 while the very best of what brought them success are still with us
