It's Quiet the £250m return

I don't agree with that at all. We finished 3rd last season, we were the best team after the January transfer window and missed Rodri all season. We haven't had a stable back 4 for a while, and we've brought in Marmoush, Reijnders, Ait Nouri and Cherki. If you look at the performance against Juventus, that isn't a team who is challenging for Top 5, that's a team who is challenging for the League Title. Once it clicks, we will be there or there abouts. I think we just underestimated Al Hilal.

What hampered us was injuries that decimated our entire squad and players who had grown old together. Liverpool didn't have those problems.
I don't have us down to win the title, but to say we are only challenging for Top 5 is harsh.

Also who would you bring in Simon?

Other teams have hugely improved their squad especially Liverpool. If Arsenal do sign Gykores they have got a major missing piece completed as well.

rodri will take months to get to being able to play week in week out and back to the level he was at....he already has had another injruy (which is completely normal after being sidelined for so long) - so we have to consider we might not see his best for another 4-6 months

Marmoush played last year
Reiijnders looks class as does Alt nouri (but what is he like defensively??)
Cherki is the big one - he could be brilliant but he could be a complete disaster - he is a maverick and players like him can go either way (for example Balotelli)

The game vs Juve has made people over confident - juve were pretty poor. Al Hilal just reminded every prem team of our major weaknesses.

We dont need lots of injuries to decimate a squad who has only 1 recognised left back and no recognised right back and only two fit centre halves with the other two being hugely injury prone anyway

The positions I would bring in is at least one right back, possibly two and a centre half who is ready to go into the first team from the off)

Out for me would be: Grealish, Gundo, Nunes, Rico Lewis (one of the goal keepers but not both of them), Stones, Ake, Phillips, (Reis - on loan, Echeverri on loan), McAtee. I also think there is at least a discussion to be had whether Savihno makes it or not - needs another 18 months probably but there is a discussion to be had about it...Same could be said of Doku (Though he probably has a lot less time to impress and step up - which he does do at times but he is inconsistent)

I know its a lot harder than that but there you go
 
Strange second half of the transfer window
We have links of Costa then links of trafford
Then links we are not interested in Costa then links again of Costa and links of lunin ect.Then links of liveremento then links saying we have moved onto other targets.Also new links on mgw to city again after we had supposedly moved on.It all seems a bit of a mess at the moment but hopefully we can sort it out pretty soon.
