He's got some job on his hands here now. I fear for him, for all the bravado, he must be thinking WTF have I got on here.
Whatever your view of any individual player, losing Cleverly, Vlaar and now Delph are huge blows to an already average squad. I'll be pretty amazed if Benteke is still here come the end of August too and that could be the final nail in the coffin.
We've lost two of those for nowt and one looks to be going on the cheap. Even if we get the full £32.5m for BC, that's just over £40m in, which won't cover the cost of adequate replacements, let alone improvements in other areas.
Even if he is given the cash to do it, buying so many first teamers and getting them to integrate all at once is going to be hugely difficult. Koeman managed it with Southampton, but these are more difficult circumstances.
