Some deals you have to wait until the end,” Iraola told Sky Sports.“But the end is the important picture, the one we will have on September 1, because it is true that we are still quite thin,” added the Spaniard. The club has been actively pursuing reinforcements, most notably on the wings, and Iraola may well have been referencing a deal for PSG winger Bradley Barcola when he pointed out how some deals take longer than others.
