I'd say the lesson there isn't Let's not spend big again, but more Spend big but spend well.
We spent the best part of twenty years avoiding big money signings and looking in the bargain basement and won fuck all as a result

Bissouma - 25m
Perisic - free (ish)
Bentacur - 17m

Until we sign another RWB, no . After that yes.
Same thing with Rodon, another CB (after Lenglet today) in and he's off.
was a big part of it cos he played? oh right i see, so to take the next step we need to upgrade kane, romero, son.
Was down the market today and a barrow was attempting to sell a North Face jacket for 100 squids!!!
Absolute sense.
Sanchez.
I really like a punt on a lower division or relegated player but the Clarke signing was ridiculous.
I watched him on about half a dozen occasions...can't remember the player I was really interested in...and he was meh.
I hope not. There is better value abroad.
We need home grown.
You’ll do well to go to another league and find an AM who’ll get over 20 goals and assists in the PL in this market.
Ok but I'm sure we don't need to spend 70m to bring in some home grown talent.
What the fuck are you on about??
Was a big part of it because he played well
We shouldn't pay 70m just because he had a good season, although Leicester have won more than us in recent years, we are a much bigger club and he won't be an automatic starter either, it's a much different pressure.
so who is the weak link in the 11 then? because the club aren't satisfied with 4th and actually want to win the big honours now, so people need upgrading. but youre saying keep dier hes good enough to win champions league and league titles with him as your main CB?What the fuck are you on about??

That's was just a number I picked out at random tbf
But you can imagine Leicester would be willing to listen to offers at that price.
Oh yeah of course they would, they would/should take it if we offered that much.That's was just a number I picked out at random tbf

What's all this "main CB" waffle?
We play THREE CBs.
Dier was a CB the last time we challenged for the title and went unbeaten at home in the process..... In a back 3.
Dier was a key component to our defense last season when we qualified for the CL... In a back 3.
Dier is NOT the reason we didn't win the league last season.
From last season the wingbacks. , CM, and more quality in depth at the back.
I’m not saying Dier is world class but he is a very good player in a back 3 imo and won’t be easy to upgrade on
We don't need "statement signings" we've had two of the best four players in the league for the last 3 seasons. We just need to make sure they are surrounded by other good players who fit the system of our world class manager and that we have the necessary depth.
We're well on our way to achieving that with January's window and this window.
In the last seven months we've added a world class manager and probably five to six first 11 players (Perisic, Bentancur, Bissouma, Kulusevski or Richarlison, and probably another CB and Spence).
Counting Romero last summer and Skipp coming back as PL starter quality, we've actually finally painfully rebuilt and there's still more coming. Our squad on matchday 1 will be massively different from the final game of 2020/21.
