Are Davies, Dier, PEH, Doherty really that special? I'd say it's more a reflection of the difficult transfer landscape.
We got our first choice targets where possible and made do with cheap option elsewhere, with the hope of doing better next season.
I really like Kounde, but I think Fofana is the better all round package for the PL. Definitely better defensively.
I would much rather we built smarter (ie Fofana's before they are Fofana's) but when we announced the 150m wheelbarrow of cash, and if we were going to spunk big money on players, then this was the kind of "VVD" game changing, team instantly improving, type signing I kind of figured we might make.
If we were prepared to spunk 80m on Bastoni, I don't know why we wouldn't be interested Fofana - he's better, more mobile, quicker and PL proven.
I think Fofana would be excellent in that Dier central CB remit, but could actually play in any of the CB positions. So we get quality and versatility - and he's 21.

he was also on the list made by paratici years ago, with chiesa, romero, demiral (all bought)
Hi John, long time I hope all is well.
What kind of moves do you think would push the window closer to a 9/10 etc?
Looking at it I think we're maybe a CB and an AM away, maybe even a nailed on RWB if Spence isn't ready yet but interested in your thoughts given you rate it a 6 should those 2 signings come off.
Good to hear from you, been dipping in and out of the forum and hope you and everyone is doing well
Hi Mark. I'm good thanks. Nice to see you back. I'm Joan now, btw
You've really answered the question for me tbh. As have the subsequent posters. And as the boss has said himself, we need more if we wish to challenge seriously.
2 of the 3 positions you highlight are crying out for attention and a creative midfielder in the mould of an Eriksen would also be an important addition. Madison, perhaps
With that in mind, and having slept on it, I was probably being generous with a 6
Forster and Lenglet hardly get me moist
Peresic is very old. Some would say too old to be debuting in the blood and thunder of the Premier league .
And Conte himself has distanced himself from the Spence signing.
Bissouma looks a good buy and Richarlison made a statement. Pleased with those.
Zaniola comes across as a poor mans Madison and Udogie wouldn't even be in our squad next season.
Tbh, with us now considered the financial powerhouse of the Premier League, as
Airfixx
rightly highlighted, and the public announcement of the long overdue cash investment of £150million, I expected more, as I suspect everyone else did if they're honest with themselves. But hey, there's still a few weeks left so a lot could happen yet!
I wonder what kind of eruption they're talking about 
A
I'm not convinced that it's as good as some think it is so we will see how things pan out over the next few weeks maybe 1/2 more might come in.
The window hasn't shut yet so we will have to wait to fully assess how the squad will look.

Undrstand personal terms with Zaniolo agreed but Maureen trying to screw us by ashing for Skipp as part of the deal....Cunt
I remember the exact same thing being said in 2016 and 2017. You need to be able to replace very good players with other very good players. I still think we need two first team level players, 1 centre back and 1 creative attacking player to make it a truly successful window.
Him being injury-prone has to be one of the biggest myths in football, up there with the Anfield atmosphere. He's just been unlucky with his ACL (I remember the injury v Juve, that was nasty), but last season he played almost every game for Roma. As for his talent, the guy lit Serie A alight when he went to Roma first from Inter, so much so that Inter fans were crying on the fact that they traded him for Nainggolan. He was a bigger prospect in Italy than what Chiesa was in his day.
Why does that make him a cunt? He wants the best for his team, that's his job...
Bollocks he knows we wont include Skipp if you cant see that he is just trying to nause us then Im sorry for you .Hes a cunt
I agree 100 %
There are plenty of reasons that make him one , wanting Skipp is not one of them
He might as well try. As the poster above said, there are a million reasons why he's a cunt, wanting Skipp to strengthen his team is not one of them.
On the flip side , good news if a manager of Jose's pedigree rates Skippy that highly
Future captain and will take Phillips out of the England team eventually. Phenomenal talent currently going through what early Bale did. His talent will come through eventually. We've got to be very careful with him.
Absofuckinglutely.
Blokes got one of the easiest jobs outside of the Royal family. And like those dossers, a brainwashed public pays him for it.
That's a fucking bold statement that is.
At his age, and with one punctuated premier league season under his belt, no one knows where he'll end up.
