Except we have never did that, literally. We had obvious flaws and failed to act upon them. Didn't get a longer bench this is why we didn't even really use subs in the 2nd leg vs Atletico. No real options available.
I didn't say exceptional transfers, but certainly encouraging in terms of seeing us addressing the issues. Buying a goalkeeper is next on the list, ramblings about a midfielder joining as well.
Özil-Laca-Auba-Miki is more than fine going forward (also we have Welbeck).
As Ducky said, it will be a long process and I'm happy we are starting it the way we did.
