It's Quiet - a new dawn

To win the league and CL its important to have players whose names are 'hot'. Some people say where will Sanchez play. He will play where ever we need him to play. Or Even Bernando Silva for that matter. We have no squad depth now. Look at any CL favorite team and their bench and look at ours.

I think you're right that we haven't been hugely embarrassed the exceptions being Hazard and Sandro in so far as we got to the table but wouldn't pay the price or agents fees etc. but other than that we were looking at the right players but couldn't get deals done

Hazard chose Chelsea. The myth making around that transfer is amazing.

So a prediction of extraordinary summer is on a wane. As the transfer window approaches our link to great players are on a wane. Hope we sign sanches at least.

I'd consider Alex Sandro, one of the best left backs in football, to be a pretty extraordinary signing if it happened, wouldn't you? Walker and Sanchez are arguably the best in the PL at their positions too.

Mbappe was always a target only if Kun was leaving, and that was never a gimme.

Sanchez won't happen, either he'll stay back at Arsenal or join Bayern Munich.

What makes you think that?

We need the best players available in the positions were buying for.

This is incredibly backward thinking. If you win the CL or get close then the names if whoever is playing for you become 'hot'.

Sometimes its also important to buy a great player we don't need.

We need a better first team and foundation before we can think about pepping up the squad with superstars on the bench, that means some less sensational names for a while. We won't be able to get on the same level as Real/Barca/Bayern/Juve this window regardless, their squads have taken years to assemble, we're only just beginning to rebuild ours now.

To be honest I'm excited for a transfer window where it looks like we won't just sign forwards and playmakers, but have a bigger focus on addressing actual problems.

Not really but each to their own I guess.
