Do you understand that 60m that we spend on strengthening our bench is 60m that won't be spent on strengthening our first XI, or are you just gonna say "nooo just spend more money" like you're twelve.
I'm not saying 'nooo just spend more money', am I?

Can you read? I've named a specific player that we should spend 60m on- Tapsoba.
And I think Tapsoba will be able to get into our first XI, and our squad also should have 3 quality CBs.
 
I've already explained why it makes far more sense to count Kulu and Porro spend as part of previous spend rather than this year. The loan with future buy is just an accounting trick.
The actual important thing for this window is buying players that improve the squad. Kulu and Porro were both already part of the squad.

And even if you count Kulu and Porro- we've still spent around £100m less than Woolwich. So the idea we shouldn't get Tapsoba because we can't afford him is risible.
...so does that mean if we DON'T end up buying Lenglet, that - by default - also improves the squad?

In this system VDV is probably better than Tapsoba. 3 quality CBs is well and good, but right now we have 2 good starting CBs, which is more than I can say for our wingers.
