Full strength our bench would look something like
Forster
Emerson/Davies
Dragusin
Lo Celso
Bissouma/Bentancur
Johnson
Richarlison
Haven't even mentioned Solomon, Hojbjerg or Peresic either so Veliz and Phillips wouldn't get on the bench

Its improving all the time - once Son is back (and Sarr and Bissouma) we have Son, Richarlison, Johnson and Werner plus Kulusevski not required to play CM with Sarr and Bissouma back plus probably Solomon back from injury so we have between 1 and 3 forwards on bench as alternatives to Scarlett and Donley
Ange already said the squad is nowhere near strong enough.

He has also said its going to take a few windows to make all changes - he said 3 or 4 when he first arrived
That is why every window we bring in new players

He did but your point about not having players on the bench who can turn a game when we're losing is incorrect, we bought players off the bench against Sheffield Utd who literally did that.
Realistically, how much is Gil actually worth?
Nobody in the Premier league is coming after him, surely. And most of the Premier league appear to he hamstrung by ffp now.
Outside of the Premier League, most foreign clubs haven't got a pot to piss in.
I'm about to sell a car tomorrow that was ULEZ compliant until that cuntstain expanded the zone last year. Its probably worth £2k less thanks to that cockwombleprickface.
That's kind of an analogy for Brian Hill. He's proven unsuccessful in the Premier League, nobody outside the Premier League can pay us what we paid, so we're probably going to have to keep him, or just take whatever we can get.
right......
Or Skipp or Sess?.....
Problem with Gil is to find a club in Spain or Italy with money (and ffp headroom - Barca has no ffp capacity) to buy any player, almost irrespective of value - points alluded to in your post

That set up and half of football is exactly why I would rather have an Eze in our squad than a Gallagher.
You could put Bentancur in the 6 and have Eze doing the Maddison things.
Edit
Just to add. My point is if we buy Gallagher, that half doesn’t change much.

it’s beyond obvious to me now.
If we do not acquire a world class midfielder - and not just a great one like Maddison, I mean true. WORLD. CLASS.
If we do not add world class midfield talent this project is simply doomed, with a ceiling of 5th and a fun cup run here and there.
The gap between our midfield talent and the top teams is a massive gulf. It is our single biggest weakness and area of improvement. We must get world class quality or potential, don’t fucking talk to me about Gallagher.

Are you basing that off today or just in general?
What world class midfielder have united, Woolwich or Liverpool got ?
Someone that's on a level above maddison, bentancur, sarr and bissouma?
This. Just this.

We need an Eze not a Gallagher
I don’t want to be as good as United Woolwich or Liverpool. I want to be better. That’s why we need the world class midfield quality.
Hard disagree to this doom-mongering post.
We have plenty of quality in midfield at the moment. The front line needs the most work. Neither wing is looking up to par just yet and the rotation options are middling.
Wtf?
Maddison Sarr Bentancur Bissouma is a class midfield.
If we have a deficiency… perhaps we need a second elite goalscorer.
Not sure why you’re hysterical about our midfield. Also how is our ceiling 5th when we’re currently 5th with an injury ravaged season?
