Need 2 players per position. Tanganga is off and Dier can’t do high line. If Sanchez goes and we get Tosin then we will need another.

If Tosin is really good and 3rd choice then obviously we can bring in a 4th choice but all our defenders will clearly need to be suited to high line and also half decent on the ball.

I don't think four first team centre backs are particularly needed in a one competition season.

We can revisit in the January window if we're feeling a bit thin but if Romero, van de Ven and another can't be trusted over the next 4 months and the likes of Davies, Dier or one of the youngster actually have to be called upon within that time, I'd be surprised.

This is my opinion, part of the fun, I know lots will disagree. I think this window has once again turned into a bit of a shambles, other teams seem to be linked with players, then get their business done without too much fuss. We skirt around the edges, wondering if we can find an extra 50p down the back of the sofa. This window really should have been the start of a clear out, unfortunately it has not happened.

I agree. I mean 2 new centre backs was a must at the start of the window. Still not done. Outs still at snails pace. I still we lack creativity. I'm not sure our wingers are good enough. Even with Kane i'd say its been barely adequate, without him its been nowhere near good enough. I like the Maddison and VDV signings and i'm all for signing kids like Phillips but unless we add another 3, maybe 4 proper first team players we're going to be reliant on Postecoglou being an utter genius.
 
anyone remember when we loaned ndombele to Lyon and Levy insisted on inserting a 54m buy option even though he was aware Lyon financially would never be able to exercise the option.

He inserted it because he actually thought he could somehow trick other clubs into thinking his value is around that figure.

We are absolutely fucked with such a delusional man at the the helm.

It depends on how you equate success, we have finished above them in the league most seasons but we still have fuck all to show for it, I'd rather have some Trophies to show for the last 10 years, I'd trade a top 4 finish for a FA cup but unfortunately thats not what football is about these days, Its not just a Levy dig either, its just the money is in qualifying for the Champions league and not winning an FA cup.

Virtually anyone would, but that's not how it works (and not just for the reason you mentioned)..... Can you imagine during one of the seasons where the title felt like a real possibility, sacrificing league games to 'ensure' (yet not ensure) that we won an FACup qtr final?

We have a long list of shit cup exits during this period that really aren't a byproduct of top 4 holding the weight it does in the modern game.
