I mean it's as if they've tried to sort of correct the last 20 odd years of underinvestment in one summer.
I mean it is it's a remarkable, it's just a remarkable transformation.
And clearly the owners have listened to the criticism, the long-standing criticism from the fans that they don't put their hand in their pocket, that they don't gamble in the market.
But I mean, this is a big gamble, all of it really.
I mean, some of them are quite calibrated.
I think the Van Hecker deal makes a lot of sense when you think about the DeSerby Link.
Savinio or Savio as he's now rebranded.
You know, he's a player that they were looking at for a couple of years, so that's not a kind of reactionary one, but they've paid a big fee for him.
But then when you look at things like the left-wing situation.
And they were looking at Cody Gakbo, and then they were looking at Iliane Dai, and then they've signed Mikhaila Mudrig.
What on earth connects those three players as the profile of those players, except except that they play on the left wing?
Yeah.
There's nothing that connects them.
You know, there's not that is not a recruitment team having a clear list and saying, okay, this is the profile.
Of player we want.
If we don't get him, we go to number two, we go to number three.
That is quite scattergun.
That is, we need a body, we need someone.
Okay, the manager knows this guy, Mudrick.
I've seen a clip today, it's been doing the rounds of um because De Zerby worked with uh Mudric at Chateau-Donesque, and then when Mudrick went to Chelsea.
