I just don&#8217;t see it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The manager changes every two minutes. There are players coming in left, right and centre. There are probably two or three players for every position.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;When you bring a player in, for example Mykhailo Mudryk &#8211; we know he hasn&#8217;t done well, but they are still buying wingers!
