We do not lack technical, creative quality. We have loads of it, possibly too much in the squad.

Think of a balance of qualities in a squad and look at those we might lack. Does cesc possess any of them?

No is the answer. Great player and we could signed him. Equally we could have signed a quality centre half and a disciplined midfielder with pace and a tactical brain. We could work more on our shape in training.

Or we could have gone after di maria, or messi..
