As you can see, BR has improved the squad significantly as the players we have now are better compared to the ones who have left. None of the players that has been sold would make it into our team this season, except maybe Maxi Rod.
However, there are too many dodgy transfers that seem pointless - Aspas, Alberto, Borini and Assaidi. Really baffled by why Alberto doesn't start more often seeing that he does very well each time he makes a cameo. As much as I would like Borini to succeed here, I wouldn't have an issue if he gets sold.
Only Sturridge, Coutinho, Sakho, Allen and Toure have been good purchases. Yesil, lori and Joao Carlos are great prospects for the future. When I say that Allen has been a good purchase above, I meant that he contributes to the team. We did pay too much for him, but he does his job. In fact, I feel he does more than Lucas. The only fault with his signing is that it cost double what it should have been.
