At the very least Davies (a season more of starting prob makes him a better player) but it’s more the opportunity cost - we loaned Lenglet instead of buying a player for the future. I also get that we took a stab at bastoni and Gvardiol but they are unlikely to be available next summer either. We should have (IMO) gone for someone else this window.
So just buy someone for the sake of buying someone, even if they don't fit the mould and quality of player we are looking for, huh? That's not a good way to spend our money methinks.
What we learned today was that having CBs next to Dier who know how to possess and play progressive football makes the system function as intended.

Report reveals huge signing-on fee Man Utd paid to beat Spurs to Eriksen

Football Insider have revealed that Manchester United paid a signing-on fee of £12m to Christian Eriksen to beat Tottenham to the Dane’s signature.
At one point earlier this summer reports indicated that Spurs were one of the favourites to snap up Eriksen on a free transfer after his contract with Brentford ran out (ESPN).
However, the fairytale return to North London did not materialise for the 30-year-old, who ended up linking up with Erik Ten Hag at Old Trafford.
David Ornstein explained on The Athletic’s YouTube channel (starting at 7:20) back in July that the contract length and salary Eriksen demanded did not match what Spurs had in mind, which is why Antonio Conte’s men pulled the plug on the deal.
Bastoni has been truly shit this season, think we should avoid him. If Lenglet shows his value just buy him.

I told you so. Make me the scout
It’s almost like I’ve been saying he’s a very flawed defender since the links appeared last summer…
I can see Perisic getting a similar amount.To those who stil believe Eriksen was available on a "free"

Bit older and we're a bit poorer but easy to ignore the cost when talking about our summer spend. Lenglet won't be cheap either.
conte's effect is finished
