I’ll reiterate what i said a few weeks back. I personally feel Spence will be our last signing. I think we need another top CB and a creative midfielder like Maddison, but I don’t think we will get it unfortunately. It’s an 8/10 window so very good. But, to make it an outstanding window, we need to make 2 more signings. I personally think the outgoings will happen now and there will be no more incomings

Agree and disagree.

Agree that it's about an 8/10 window, and really happy with the business we've done so far.

I definitely think that we'll get in at least one more signing though - whether that's Maddison or more out of left field, I don't know.

Also think 2 signings - CB and ACM would make it 10/10 but don't see us getting that world class CB until next season.

Put it this way though - if I was offered the window we've had at the end of last season, I'd 100% have taken it.

Hope you are right mate. I just can’t see it.
 
If you take the last 6 months and include the Jan window we have improved the first 11 and squad considerably.

Bentancur - Direct improvement on 1st team
Bissouma - Direct Improvement on 1st team
Peresic - Direct Improvement on 1st team
Kulu - Direct Improvement on 1st team
Forster - Improvement on squad + HG aspect
Richarlison - Huge improvement on squad
Lenglet - Improvement on squad (No natural LCB cover before this)
Spence - One of the brightest talents in the championship + HG aspect

Still some work to be done with perhaps Maddison or similar and a top draw centre back if available, but if you look at us now compared to 12 months ago, we are in a considerably better place.
Agree with all of this. And good point re January acquisitions. I’m just not getting too carried away.

Mostly agree but think Conte will want one more for the midfield.

Get a really strong midfielder and we need worry less about a top centre back as the midfield will shield or should.

We are 3rd favourites for the title now. I make that about right as Chelsea are light up top, although I think they may try and convert Havertz. .

We get a top midfielder and I do not see much clear water between us and Liverrpool. I really don't. City not so sure.

For sure though City and Liverpool will both see us a threat as things stand.

Maddison would 100% be my pick. I really hope we go all out for him now.
 
I agree that the bulk of our business has been done but that doesn't mean that we couldn't bring in one or two more before the window SLAMS SHUT at the end of August.

The focus, for now, will be getting out some that are no longer part of Conte's plans. Then they'll assess the squad and look around Europe for some good deals.

So relax everyone, we're sitting pretty.....for once, no need to panic.

OhI missed you during summer.

We need a strong midfielder. Rice would be perfect but won't happen.

Skipp and Hjojberg may offer combined strength but I feel we are one powerhouse midfielder from being different gravy.

Let's see but Bissouma will provide creativity more than the strength I am suggesting.

We definitely don't need another 'strong' midfielder - it's a creative/attacking mid that we should go for.

The feeling is not mutual.

Suggest what you want....... You clearly have no idea what kind of player we just bought.
 
I am gutted at you not missing me.

Let's see on Bissouma.. Always happy to be proved wrong if we are winning.

IMO Bissouma is best as a box to box midfielder - he's a ferocious ball winner, with good dribbling skills. Obviously with that comes a touch of creativity, but I would suggest we need someone more out and out creative too.

I'm really looking forward to seeing him play though
