Imagine if he'd stayed fit and we'd signed a young Alex Rae to play alongside him.
I think again here with Marçal - we've had to apply for a work permit (he doesn't have dual nationality with any European country) and that in itself would have taken time. Now not that he is a RWB but you can see why you can't always say "we won't sell X until we get our replacement in". Doubt Spurs would have been too happy with hanging around for us to do our business, which means they probably go somewhere else, and we're stuck with a player who knew there was a move on the table but it hasn't happened, plus we seemingly didn't want him any more. None of that is healthy.
Sequencing doesn't always line up as you'd like.
