Yeah first one of their January spree which is frustrating because we have potential issue at RB
Even though it stings to lose out on such an obvious improvement to our squad and to our right back play, I think there are still options out there that we can get in the summer that wouldn't cost an arm and a leg and would still improve us. Frimpong at Leverkusen and the two RBs at Southampton (Livramento and KWP), especially if Southampton go down, are names that come to mind.
But we need to be very clear-eyed in the summer and act fast. As soon as the season ends priority should be to offload all our deadwood that can fetch us some money (Maguire, AWB and Mctominay in particular) at all costs and immediately start working on signing improvements.

Are you looking for a body at RB or an improvement? If it's just a body, someone who can do a solid job, then Livramento makes sense.
Haha:
"We have to be smarter with our transfer business from here on out" does not tally with "Someone like Aarons, for instance, could be a good cheaper back up option".
I've mentioned this before but Aarons is one of the worst full-backs at defending you'll ever see. He basically turns in to DVB when he has to stop an attack down his flank.
He's not good enough to even be a back-up at Utd, you might as well just keep Laird if that's the level you're aiming for.
This guy must have hated his parents growing up
They call him BadWind
Always been a huge fan of this guy, whoever he is.
Wow, another one...
Are you 100% sure you aren't looking at a really reflective screen?
He looks like a handsome devil to me
Livramento needs to play to develop, he didn't play football since April last year and nobody knows how well he will even recover.
Damn chelsea are on a roll
Chelsea single-handedly destroying the myth of not being able to do deals in January. Almost £200m spent on 7 players so far, which to almost all clubs is a good summer. Mind you, they did spend £100m in the summer on some duds like Sterling, Aubameyang and Kouilbaly.
Sterling and Kouilbaly could easily be in the running for the ‘Worst PL signing’ award. Aren’t they on like £200k+ a week for five years as well just to make it worse?

Getting their spending in before the new FFP stops clubs (regardless of owner wealth or generosity) spending big.
Wanted us to sign him but now he’s gone to Chelsea I hope he fails miserably. 
Chelsea’s irresponsible spending continues.
Once their injuries settle down, they are going to have a few big name players not even making the match day squad...
How come Chelsea just got the American abramovich, man. Wish we had luck like that.
KK & Auba have been big time busts (and I’m especially shocked with how big of a letdown Koulibaly has been) but I definitely wouldn’t call Sterling a dud or anywhere close to worst signing. He hasn’t been the top class signing we Chelsea supporters hoped yet but he hasn’t been terrible.
Think Raheem will be just fine in the long term. Just like I feel Cucurella and Wes Fofana will be.
Abramovich actually ran them quite efficiently in terms of finances after the first few years. I think before 2010 they didn't make much profit from sales but after that they were much better.
Boehly will want his pound of flesh eventually
This is the problem I see coming. Let’s fast forward to next season when they’ll have gone crazy again in the Summer [which they will] they’ll either be left with players they can’t shift on ridiculous wages or be paying them to play elsewhere.
Very interesting to see what they do.
