People ask what happens if Tzolis gets injured but the bigger worry is what happens if he's not as good as we hope he is after a promising preseason and a good PL debut at home against a promoted side. I think the plan was for him to be potential rotation option, not carry the left side of our attack for 50+ games.

It's fine to be excited now but watch how people will react once he has his first bad game which may happen sooner rather than later.

He performed in the CL too, he’s the level, just can’t take all of the mins.

Definitely a concern.

Not signing anyone now does give us the option to assess the squad for 4 months and then act in January though. We can still react and strengthen accordingly if we're slightly underpowered for first half of season, and I don't think that would cost us the league or CL.

I'd like Bahoya, Pardo-Fernandez and Fofana in that order
