Always a caveat. Maybe you and John might enjoy things if you didn't attempt to find an excuse to criticise.

I know it's not fashionable to say around here but I don't actually think a double pivot with our existing options of Sarr/Bergvall/Bentancur/Bissouma is a particularly bad set of midfielders to choose from in a traditional double pivot setup.
As you say, none of them could handle the 6 in an Ange system but even Rodri would struggle in that shit show.
Eze is 27 and may be past his best already. He is definitely not as quick as he once was. Have no problem with Kudus over Eze.
2-3 years ago I was on the Eze train, but its left the station.
Yeah but they have Macron, revolutions, ghettos and many other downsides.
Fuck em.
It's done barring a problem with the physical.
Are we all done this evening now Levy has finally opened his wallet?
Worth noting with Eze that he has missed large parts of the past few seasons through injury too
Wissa and a CM would make this a good window
Id like oshimen but if unattainable i do rate lookman. Hes been good at atalanta. Serie A is notorious for defending so lookman has done well there.
He seems to be a player that likes playing big games as well based on comments on reddit. We've lacked that in attack for a bit.
Yeah this is becoming increasingly clear.
Robinson is the dream at left back.
CM I haven't a clue. Warming to the idea of going back in for Gallagher. He doesn't solve our CDM problem but think his presence in the midfield would be huge for us. Can't see us signing Baleba /Wharton and nobody else feels like a huge upgrade. Palinha/Luiz are the short term solutions but its debatable if their best days are behind them and if they are then are we just removing one problem in Bissouma and replacing him with another problem? I'm not convinced. Gallagher could be the safe bet and play Bentancur/Bergval deep beside him.
He also said there was a huge legal hold up over the kudus transfer (but obviously wouldn’t say what) and thought it wouldn’t get done any time soon.
Hutchinson was great for the U21s. I'm in.
we've signed our 1x senior player this window. Only make sense we'd go back to U21 players.
Hoping Kudus gets completed and Levy does not think I can get away with the bare minimum. Hopefully a couple more key positions get covered with experienced quality . I will then have some custard with my humble pie , but we need two more in my view .
Caveat : We don’t weaken by selling our best players , and the list isn’t long

I think 25 on Danso as well
