On reflection I wish he'd gone, too. He's an excellent player but we were in for Maxi Gomez and that fell through when he stayed. Our most important player now is Declan Rice and our most creative one is still Lanzini - even though he's out for the season. We're not in a relegation battle for a change so I see the next few months as just getting through this barren patch as best we can. Then hopefully Pellegrini gets the money to push forward next season, by which time Lanzini should be back, Arnie will probably be gone and some of the dead weight will have hopefully followed him.
