Says you, a poster who couldn't respond to any of my points and is now asking me to play make believe as a distraction.

I'm not sure you can argue that our depth has massively changed or improved. We have a few young players with good potential who "might" be an upgrade squad depth wise.
In the same scenario this season Bentancur will come in for Biss once again.
Spence will play at LB if Udogie is injured - that's very much an experiment at this stage and not a clear upgrade on Emerson.
Odobert ahead of Werner/Kulu as first choice wing rotation could be an upgrade but again we have little evidence to back that right now.
I conceded the point about us having different expectations for this coming season. You clearly implied that this window should have been used to make us title challengers for the season, I’d just like to know what moves would make that happen?
I suppose all fans are guilty of overhyping their team to some extent but if you try to look objectively at our first XI it is obviously way off challenging the top teams.
Even adding an extra 15 points to account for our injury crisis/slump + assuming we now have better depth, we'd still be 10 points off the top spot.
Swapping out Dom Solanke for Richy is not bridging that gap. That is the reality.
in terms of depth for that st position its probably best in the league now tho. especially now that city dont have alvarez to come in for haaland. cant think of anyone that has 2 decent strikers to share the minutes.
even if we did have better wide forwards the gap to city is still a joke and we are literally waiting for a few of them to fuck off. its hard to beat a team that has rodri, KDB, bernardo and haaland. now theyve just signed someone who looks like a mahrez replacement, just when they did kind of look gettable if injuries got them.
hopefully this i the final year of them dominating, these charges need to really get hold of them and bugger them, be interesting to see where the likes of rodri and haaland do go if it does fuck them.
The only saving grace is a good City stops Woolwich winning things.
Hopefully we go for it next summer and in the 25-26 season we are ready to mount a challenge with Pep and a few of his top boys gone.
Davies and Spence staying means we have cover at LB, LCB and RB until January.
1 more signing and I'd have been pretty happy with the window but overall I'm satisfied.
Love the signing of Gray, Bergvall new into the group, Solanke a much needed pressing target man and a good young winger with a whole season ahead to make a claim for starting position.
Window is ok for me. Not perfect, not awful, I'm relatively content but we need Gray to come on leaps and bounds this year in midfield to ensure the gamble pays off.

The own goal v the Arse was a fucking travesty
He was in the PFA Team of the Season as voted by his peers:
Good luck getting an answer
Hard to tell if, the window has been good or bad.
The club has purchased a few promising young players who, probably can't be relied on for consistency, but a striker for the first team should do well.
I don't expect much from the club this year, probably on par with last season, a few good performances and a few piss poor ones.
Not sure on the clubs final league position come May, with a competitive league, anything between 5th-8th is likely.

We need a younger more agile version of Ben Davies, because if he is to play in a high CB line or at LB it's going to be an issue.
Yes but that won't be happening today.
But he also regained control for us in midfield quite often when our CMs had lost their heads (Bournemouth away springs to mind). We could have done with him against Leicester tbh.
Yeah, don't do it to yourself. Only thing I'm looking forward to is the EL draw.So pretty much done then, right?
Possible departures for Reggie and Gio, maybe other youth players.
Won't watch SSN then
Yeah, that's at 12pm UK time right?
Yes, that's right. There are some decent teams in each "pot", so we could get some pretty difficult draws.
I agree that we certainly have some areas where we look fragile, BUT we can't expect to build a new project over a few windows. It takes time and we're going in the right direction.
For me, it's a 7/10 window right now. Could be 8/10 depending on what's coming and going over the next few hours.
