I’ll admit I’ve skimmed the last 15 or so pages so this may be redundant. Anyways, securing Barkley is going to prove to be immense this season. Too many times over the years we’ve relied on Jack to carry the ball up the field. If the other team negated his ability to get free we ran out of attacking ideas. Barkley gives us another bonafide ball-carrier in the middle of the park. I think we were interested in Rashica early on and it’s possible that would’ve moved Jack central. But I think we’ve dodged a bullet there as we now have Luiz, McGinn, and Barkley in the middle who are all capable defensively as well as able to move the ball up the field. 10/10 window and I’m more than happy with our signings. Anything less than a midtable finish, barring key injuries, would be a failure.
