For me, him in or out comes down to how much he was involved in signings.
If he had say into it, he should not be moaning about the squad at all.
No one told him to spend 350m or whatever on isak wirtz and ekiteke.
He says other areas need strengthening, but that was clear before the above was done.
Of he had no choice in the matter then fair enough.
Yeah. We might never know how much say he had. You'd imagine that they have a list of players that they need and problem areas of the team. I'm sure Slot knew that a lot of players would have to be sold in order to cover the costs of bringing in big names. There might be some reason that they seemed to throw all the eggs in the Isak basket and also Wirtz. Seems strange to us but surely there must have been a strategy behind it.
The big miss was not getting Guehi. Had they got him you'd say it was a very good window on paper.
