Capoue wasn't a bad player. Just didn't fit. Chadli had his moments too.

Chiriches and Paulinho were fucking twats.

Bobby Soldier was a shame. Brilliant in Spain.
Lamela was one of the most coveted young talents in Europe at the time we got him as well, it's a massive shame he was so plagued by injury immediately after joining which coupled with having to bulk up and meet the physical demands of the PL blunted a lot of the flair and incisiveness to his game, however was still an incredible player for us who's defensive output was a massive contributor to the defensive solidity that was a hallmark of the peak Poch side. That rabona nutmeg goal against Woolwich alone justified his fee IMO, and I'd argue that we have only really had a better player on the right since he left for the first 5 months of Kulu's Spurs career.
I'm hoping we can do a deal for a real blockbuster left winger before the window closes as it's rather typical that we have for years and years always had a weaker right side than left side (Modric/Kranjcar/Bale all offered more than Lennon in that time IMO and then the decade of Son he was inarguably better than all players we had down the right) and now it's switched where arguably Johnson is strongest from the right and one of our biggest G/A contributors and we have £55m acquisition Kudus to provide the ball carrying and line breaking we desperately need, but the left side is largely hope and potential beyond any effective substance as of this moment.
 
Bit dubious about spending 50mil on Lookman who did nothing at Fulham or Everton. Only looked good in Serie A the league that's turned McTominay into Messi. I know we're desperate for a lwf but I'd only touch him if it's a loan with no obligation.
