The club spent the budget on one defender who won't play till after he's sacked, another who was crocked (he's just pulled out of the Scotch squard), and the £72m Gervinho, when Emery wanted Zaha - as I expect many of us would prefer at this point.

On the other side they got rid of one of our better defenders, one of our best midfielder and two experienced wide players.

Tough gig imo.
