In defense, Davies Dier Sanchez with Tanganga and Romero is good enough for the rest of this season. Rodon can be moved on. Romero perhaps shouldn't be bought, and another (L)CB brought in during the summer.

At wingback, Reggie and Sess are good enough with enough upside to continue with at LWB. Emerson is alright, and Doherty good enough to be an understudy. Would be great to get an attacking RWB to challenge Emerson, but we can probably wait til summer for this.

In midfield, we seem to have found solid performers in Skipp, PEH and Winks. NDombele and Lo Celso can be sold. I doubt we can sell both in the winter window, so, might be forced to play them until the summer when we can look to move both on, assess Matar Sarr to see if he is ready to recall, or look to purchase another CM.

Dele has improved but still doesn't look to be cutting it at the top level, and should be moved on.

In attack Kane, Son and Lucas look to be a solid front three. Bergwijn and Gil backing them up appears to look good, but an injury to any of Kane or Son would likely leave us too underpowered in attack. Overall we appear to be lacking one quality player worth of depth in attack.

In this winter window I'd like to see us secure a versatile attacker, sell Dele, and then after that, in order, if possible buy a RWB, a CM, and then a LCB. I don't think we'll have much ammo to buy much more than another versatile attacker though, and that would probably be good enough to get us through to the summer when Conte can make more drastic changes to the squad.

I agree with this assessment. We have a lot of good players. Trouble is we need all great players to compete with MCity. And getting in great players through recruitment in January is virtually impossible.

Ideal movements this transfer window

Out:
Clarke, Doc, Lo Celso, Rodon, PEH, Golini, Winks, Berg

In:
Brozovic, Vlahovic, Griezmann, Henderson, Adama, Barella, Kulusevski

Even if we get half of those done would be a massive coup

Barella is untouchable, the others are gettable, but over a long period of time. Kulu is mediocre and Brozo is old, so I'm not sure what's the obsession with those 2...

Can Kulusevski play up front in a 3-5-2? I thought that was the direction we were trying to go. I think of him as an out-and-out winger, which makes me think a wingback transformation is possible.

Traore is a good and unique player who I rate....but man I am loathe to spend a bunch of money in a way that doesn't elevate our sorely lacking technical ball-playing which is not his game.

But there is scope for reservations for those of us who aren’t scared to think for ourselves as don’t live by blind hero worship.
