We've managed to spend close to £100m without actually strengthening the starting XI

[Mo Britain less Europe]

I would have preferred to splash the money on Aubemyang but if he didn't want to come, what can you do?

Too early to say if the starting XI is stronger but I have hopes Mustafi will make it stronger. He had more touches and played more passes than anyone else on the pitch today, not a bad sign.

We probably have a stronger squad than last season and sometimes it's the squad that lets you down when first teamers are absent.

We need to resort to kidnapping or going after the player's family to get someone like aubemayang. Let me make some calls.
