For me it is all about the CB position. That is the be all and end all for this transfer window. I said weeks before the end of last season that if Garcia wasn't 4th or 5th choice CB by the start of next season, we would have had a terrible window. At this moment in time, there is every chance he starts our 1st Prem game.
When we won the league by a single point with 98 points, it was a poor decision by Pep/the club not to replace Kompany. To then finish 2nd and a distant 2nd at that, you have to sign more than Ake and Torres to be serious about challenging for the title again. The ambition Chelsea have shown in the transfer market, is the exact same ambition we should be showing and instead we have bought a back up CB and a kid.
We are forever hearing from the club how they don't make snap decisions where transfers are concerned and instead we plan months in advance, well I don't have a clue what they've been doing for the past few months. Currently our transfer windows are getting progressively worse, which beggars belief when we have the best manager in the world at the helm.
I know the window is still open but at this point it is hard to imagine us pulling off 2 or 3 big signings in the next 3 weeks. A top-class CB signing is the absolute minimum we require, without it, we can kiss bye bye to a title challenge before the end of October.
