Wow in what way ?

 

Fabinho was shocking for 6 months or so, but was considered world class before that, and to my eyes had already started to recover his form somewhat.We have replaced him with an older career journeyman who is half his size. I can't see even the richest Saudi side feeling a bid of £40m for Endo is a good idea.

I'll take someone who can run and tackle over someone who could and can't.

 

JMHO.

Slight bit of revisionism on our 'reboot' going on here.

 

Mac Allister and Szloboszlai weren't replacements for Henderson and Fabinho. We already had both before we were aware of any Saudi interest.

 

Effectively, Endo and Gravenberch are their replacements. 

 

I don't think anyone has suggested that we'll miss Henderson given last season's decline, but time will tell on whether we've either adequately replaced Fabinho or evolved to a degree that we don't need that kind of player. 

 

 

After MacAllister and Szoboszlai were brought in, Henderson was informed of a plan to reduce his role. So Szoboszlai was in effect replacing Henderson and Henderson, in turn, was "replacing" Milner. Endo has replaced Fabinho. MacAllister and Gravenberch have replaced Keita and Henderson. 

Ox mostly played wide in the past 2 years, so Doak has replaced him.
