We've got 3 good starters, how often does that happen in a window? With potential for 4 if Johnson does well. No backup CB is a big deal, but 6 is definitely reasonable.

Johnson scored 8 with Forest, he can definitely score 10+ if he becomes a starter.
Shocking
Ndombele and Los Celso have been stealing a living off of us for 5 YEARS!!!
The whole being greater than the sum of the parts is the theory I guess.
Brilliant logic given we have another window in January to tweak the squad again. Bookmarked this one.
Yup, he’s going to give up £10m a year so Danny Boy can get some money back. I hear they have that kind of relationship.
Were you proposing to drug them, handcuff them and drag them to the airport or do you have photos of the Porto chairman in congress with a donkey and plan to blackmail him to match Dier’s absurd salary?
Glad we got Johnson instead of Fati loan shit. Future yes
Well, bearing in mind that only 3 can be on the field at any one time, it's basically Son and pick two.
I agreed. Same score.
In terms of how good was the window, it’s not just the signings we also need to factor in the new manager and formation. Had we stuck with Conte ball then I would be having a meltdown but Ange’s approach and playing both existing and new players in their correct positions as had such a positive affect on our performances, results, mentality and outlook.
Window Benefits:
Vicario - a couple of decent games and looks like be getting over his early jitters
Emerson and Porro - both competent at RB, Porro has surprised me but he’s learning his new role very fast
Udogie - what a find, he has a very bright future
VD-Ven - looks like he’ll be a beast at the back
Romero - now playing is his natural position
Sanchez - yes he’s hit and miss but he’s been pretty decent defensively when called upon this season
Phillips - signed a very promising youngster
Bissouma - great to see him playing in his natural position. He’s been immense so far
Sarr - another who’s stepped and has a promising future
Bentancur - rumoured to be back very soon
Maddison - an absolute steal at £40m
Kulusevski - showing some signs of improvement and we’ve his deal permanent
Veliz - another promising signing
Johnson - will add pace and can hopefully improve under Ange
Add Ange and our new formation and approach and the future looks promising.
Now I agree making huge changes against Fulham was a recipe for disaster but some of the those players have performed when played with better players eg Hojbjerg and Skipp. I never want to see them as a duo again but they still add something when played alongside our existing first team players.
A better window would have been bringing in another very good centre back, 1 in 1 out in central midfield and may be a striker.

Don’t think Ange is exactly crying into his weetabix about dispersal of the “leadership council”.
Obviously we made some truly shocking signings in terms of personality like Ndombele (and others) but it’s been massively disappointing how the lads who should have been culture setters at the club like Dier and Lloris basically packed it in post UCL final defeat. Kane continued to perform but he became increasingly more aloof after that too.
It’s been a breath of fresh air to see what Maddison, Romero, Son, Bissouma and a few others have been doing to display leadership so far. Feels a lot less cliquey in the squad so far this year too.
At least Dier and Sanchez will be gone next July. That’s something.
Agree, i dont think we can keep Lloris and Dier around. Its a new broom and i dont think having 2 cant be arsed members of the last 'leadership group' hanging around will be helpful. They just need to bite the bullett on Ndombele, its a hit but no point keeping him and having this charade in January and next summer. I'd probably give it a couple of weeks to try and get them to Saudi or Turkey but if not pay them off.
I don’t feel like I know enough about White, I know he needs game time, but is it right that we let him go on a permanent, or should we have loaned him instead?
What on earth are we going to do with tanguy?
