I don't need to watch the Wolves game again to know I was bothered in that match. And I was right to be because we created extremely little & ended up sneaking a 1-0 win due to a well worked set piece. We weren't scoring from open play in that game.

Wolves are renowned for their strong defence.
There's a tiny part of me that wants us to sign Dan James too. Just to see the comedy of the mental gymnastics unfold on here.
Thursday morning: General consensus. He's fucking shite and an absolutely embarrassing transfer target.
Friday morning: Maybe he ain't so bad. Perhaps Antonio can polish him up
Friday night: Could be a decent buy actually. Especially considering what we paid.
Saturday morning. Great bit of business. Did well to beat off our rivals. Could be the missing piece of the Conte puzzle.
Saturday night. 10/10 signing. 10/10 window. Anyone saying otherwise must be a gooner cunt and don't support Spurs. All Hail "Don" Levy for giving us Dan James!
They didn't exactly have their backs up against the wall at any point, in fact for the entire first half our issue was getting it in to their half of the pitch.
look on sc, half of em want dan jamesThere's a tiny part of me that wants us to sign Dan James too. Just to see the comedy unfold on here.

and sucking off herc and trix
He’d be a nervous fucking wreck
half of me wants us to splash on skriniar now
You have to speak for yourself when you say "everyone".
Many, if not most, knew that Gvardiol was available if any club was ready to pay the "ransom" needed (including agent fees, salaries, bonuses, etc.). And it was expected that Gvardiol would end up at either Chelski or Man City once they showed interest.
It’s really depressing to see the quality of defenders the chavs are signing 
no we just wouldntt pay the money
its always next year and see what happens with us
and this happens
That's a significantly different assertion to that in your OG post.
Look, it doesn't take much to dig around the internet for all sorts of crap-takes, but "Everyone's been screaming"? Nah......
Most level headed people here seemed to concede to the idea that we'd kept our powder dry to have another crack at Bastoni or Gvardiol next summer.
Granted, a fair few balked at the idea of paying that amount of money when we were briefly linked to the latter at the beginning of the window...... Whether or not the Chavs are now prepared to throw that amount of money at a player that is still only a year or two into adulthood is neither here nor there.
(As for Fofana... I don't recall anybody saying we should pay crazy money for him a few months back either.)
Like, I said above... Signing Gvardiol and loaning him back wouldn't help us in the here and now anyway, so would likely still be Lenglet_in.
Love it but we ain’t throwing £80m. He is better than any Chelsea defender but can’t see us doing it.
These people think they are all smarter than the statistics. Statistics are not perfect but to ignore them completely is foolish.
no guarantees bastoni will come to us next year
skriniar could be doable this window,
Again I would do it, the club however may not consider such risk.
I saw it so often. This was not a rare take. Loads of posters who pride themselves on being rational & calm were saying it was right we didn't spend big on a CB as the options were not available, same as with right back.
Well one is definitively not happening now & waiting around for a player who really doesn't seem remotely interested in leaving Inter Milan doesn't really scream top tier strategy.
That what Woolwich said when they bought Pepe for almost the same amount.
Loaned to Nice 3 years later having rarely looked adjusted to PL.
he is van dijk level how much did liverpool take punting on him
skriniar is already world class
