Disasi just signed for Chelsea for €45m and I don't think he's better than VDV, that seems to be around the going rate for top PL clubs looking for CBs.
 
I'm with you - the way we have moved away from giving academy players minutes and buying prospects has been really disheartening and something I hope we are going back to by the looks of things.
Yup. I’d rather take gambles on a “maybe will be” and live with a Dawson/Davenport, Bale/Gunter, Rose/Bostock, Walker/Naughton success rate.

These are the players that get you in position to compete, the foundation of you will. Then when the iron is hot you strike and go after the next one up who is about to become amongst the very best in their position. See when LFC bought VVD, Allison and Fabinho in very short order.

Woolwich are attempting to do it right now, Rice is great, and Timber will be an excellent fit.

Havertz though… and if they do bring in Raya then £70mil on 2 keepers, neither of whom are elite isn’t really clever.

I really hope we sort out our defence this window, or at least make a clear improvement, even if it's not perfect.

I feel like we're going to be a bit of a glass cannon otherwise, playing attacking football with a host of capable goalscorers, but hugely exposed at the back and still leaking lots of goals ourselves.

I guess the silver lining would be that every game will be exciting, but I can't say that'd be good for my heart 😅

Disagree on the last two. They have the spending power to bring in those two as good squad players. Goon 11 is good, for the last two season their squad beyond the 11 has cost them CL and then the title. These two move the dial, the former improve the 11
 
If you're not concerned right now that our attack is about to be downgraded, significantly and our defence still has more holes than Swiss cheese, then you may need your head checked.

I could live with Kane going and some punts like Solomon and and the Argie kid IF our defence could defend. As things stand though, our forwards are going to have to score at least 2 a game as clean sheets will be very rare.
 
For what its worth, O'Keefe doesn't believe we're even in for Tapsoba or have ever been.

Though interestingly, he also said we were interested in Samuel Iling Junior. Young English winger from Juve. Good talent.

Nice to see our scouting ID is decent again.
That boy can play. He’s a tall strong lad who can beat a man and deliver a cross. He’s very quick too. I think he’s English too which helps.

Ah Matt in ‘I’ll insult anyone who dares to be even remotely positive’ post.

I am shocked. Shocked I tell you.

Nobody has even claimed that we don’t need to improve our defence so what a stupid, pointless post.

💩
 
If we can't get Tapsoba done then I guess we'll have to throw VdV in the deep end and get a HG backup. Lloyd Kelly at Bournemouth might be someone we look at. 1 year left on his contract, I think. PL experience.

Our attack will be better this season.
