It makes no sense! We spend nearly 300 million on players handpicked by TT and then we sack him. What if the next gaffer wants 300 million in other players. We're right back to when we got a whole team set up for Pep and he went to City. That's when how many managers under Roman then tried to make that team into their own. It's like deja vu all over again. This was very unfair and poor business by Todd and Behdad.

Watch my video - there were differences in views over transfers - particularly over de Ligt and Ronaldo. Tuchel wanted de Ligt and thought Boehly did not act fast enough; Boehly wanted Ronaldo but pulled out because Tuchel said no. So, yes, Tuchel 'handpicked' but didn't always get what he asked for.

TBH Fab, I watched the immediately after my comment. I'm not surprised about the differences. I am surprised at the stories elsewhere that Tuchel didn't like being actively involved in the transfer search, despite the clear error with Lukaku last season and how that all came about. Awesome work, as always, Fab!

Did TT handpick them?

From what we've been told he picked most, if not all of them. Then again, who's to trust the media at this point? (Other than Fab, of course!)
