They sort of had to do it because for too many years.
matched
They hadn't done it.
matched
And if you get the right player in
matched
Does it really matter that much if you overpay by five, ten million pounds or whatever it is?
matched
So yes, there's much more optimism that I'm gonna see more wins than losses this year.
matched
Yeah, all good.
matched
I don't think so, maybe.
matched
I can't remember.
matched
Yeah.
matched
I often just never go back and look because I'm too scared of what I falsely predicted.
matched
You need to find that balance between keeping things the same but also refreshing the team in key areas.
matched
So if we take the examples of Manchester United and and Chelsea, I remember when me and Art were on a couple of weeks ago and he spoke about Chelsea signing Michaelesian the year after they I think broke the then Premier League points record total as well in Jose Mourinho's first belt of the club.
matched
No one thought they needed to go out and do that, but they identified an area where they could upgrade.
matched
With Manchester United, I remember they were the um champions, and in successive summers they signed Carlos Tevez, Dimitar Berbatov.
matched
It's sort of finding that area of the team where you think you can give a substantial uplift to.
matched
And I also think it's about being a little bit ruthless with some of the players in your current squad, and we've seen Arsenal do that this summer, moving on Trossard, moving on Norgaard, you know, whispers about Mars Lewis Skelly.
matched
There's obviously an offer from Galatassa.
matched
right for Martinelli as well.
matched
There's probably a temptation to be too loyal and to emotionally attach these players who finally got you over the line, but sometimes you have to be ruthless and say, I know you contributed in a massive way for us, but actually if you want to kick on and keep the title and keep winning things, maybe we need to let you go and buy someone else.
matched
Well sort of a a cheated answer but deserve it, obviously.
