So what does everyone think we actually need in order of importance?

After working out that we only fielded our best defence 17 times last season and that *most* of our losses actually happened WITHOUT Udogie, it stresses the need for depth at LB.

Personally I think we need:

LB
RW
C/AM
GK
LCB
LW

In that order.

LB as discussed. Whilst Spence maybe seen as an option, having someone that can do the role to a decent standard is crucial. Many times we had to field Emerson at LB...

RW although I actually think Johnson did well, I suspect he's stronger against "weaker" teams or as an impact sub. Someone to compete with him - especially since Deki has no pace and seems to be looking to play centrally.

C/AM whilst we think we need a "6", Ange seems to want a pressing monster or a box to box player. I don't get the hype with Eze but I think we will need a solution to the Maddison problem if his form doesn't upturn.

GK we could play 69 games this season if we go all the way in every competition. Fraser Forster is not the one, and I'm not sure Austin is either.

LCB Micky is absolutely crucial to how we play. Davies is obviously seen as able to play there but he's at the end of his career.

LW Sonny will likely revert there and we have Werner on loan. But this will need to be addressed sooner rather than later.

What does everyone else think?

He’s claiming Neto was one of the mystery 3 green lights. But how could it be a green light if they hadn’t even agreed the transfer fee?

one minute it was a green light and we were waiting on the selling club....now we didn't even agree a fee.

POK in talking out of his arse shocker.

I’m not against the Solanke signing I think it’s a good deal however we sold Kane last season FFS and are just getting round to replacing him now!
Why not spend the money like the cherries have and get someone in last season , who knows his goals could have been the difference between 4th and 5th place!

I strongly suspect that Richarlison (bought for Conte) was bought in advance of Kane going to ensure we had a centre forward in place who can act as a focal point, although not a great goal scorer (ie similar concept as Firmino at Pool), relying on Son and others to provide goals (which to be fair they have done) even though Richarlison has probably under performed in that department .

Personally I believe not signing Neto has thrown us

We don’t seem to know where to go from it
