Tomiyasu is a rock-solid defender. 6'1, RB/LB. Really physical, aggressive, a real bitch to get past. Tough as hell in the tackle. He's going to end up their best transfer of this window.

Yeah I thought the same but it happens all the time especially as the acquisitions won't be all driven by Arteta.
Leno, Tomiyasu, Tierney, Gabriel, White, Partey, Xhaka, Saka, Odegaard, Aubameyang, Pepe is I guess how they might line up at full strength. It looks like a team that will finish 7th or 8th at best tbh.
Exactomundo. And you still have the $50 from grandma that you brought hoping to spend.
You know what’ll happen.
the positive thing for them is these players won’t be on huge money and given they are likely to get premier league experience and the fact they are all under 25 means they should have suitors if they want offload them. It looks quite underwhelming on paper but I think it’s a better strategy than trying to get past it former great players like Coutinho on big wages and long term contracts that don’t really want to be there.
Was hoping Chelsea would miss out on Saul. Feck anyway.
Without White it almost looks ok for where we are. 90M for 3 starters and 2 depth players. Hopefully he recover from Covid and kick on but FIFTY millions....
Come on, that lineup in a functionning system and a decent manager should be finishing in EL places.
It's only 2 players different (and one of them being David Luiz) than the team that finished 6 points from 4th while playing disgusting football.

Others have strengthened since. City, us, Liverpool, Chelsea all definitely stronger and I think Leicester and Spurs are too unless they get big injury problems. West Ham are at your level. 7th or 8th.
Ramsdale is the really batshit one. White will do well I think.
Of course but United signing Ronaldo and Chelsea signing Lukaku doesn't mean anything to our race for EL. I think there is a small chance if (big if) we start playing.
I've made my peace with Ramsdale, White will have to do a lot even though his price is out of his control.
Hahaha that’s such a cool bet!

Meh?
I remember the days of nervously praying CCV would chose the US as we had zero talent a CB. Not saying he is bad or anything, just that we have come a long ways. Good luck to him, he really needs to just find a permanent home.
I stopped caring about success long time ago honestly, so it’s totally fine for me
Hopefully he is back in England in time to film the second Fantastic Beasts movie
Yep. A bit underwhelming isn’t it
Think we may regret it that we didn't bring in a top DM playmaker.
Possibly, let’s see.
If someone has told me before the window that we’d sign Sancho, Varane and Ronaldo I’d have snapped their hand off
Patrick Roberts who was at Celtic a few years back?
He’s going to be one of those constant loaners isn’t he
He is an excellent signing for them with the midfielders they have. Far less pressure to defend and has quality next to him. That Chelsea squad is looking dangerous.
I still remember when I saw them at Stamford Bridge in 94. Mark Stein and Paul Furlong up front. Dmitri Kharine in goal. Things have certainly changed.
Replacing Griezmann with De Jong. He will probably score a few goals but Barcelona are in absolute free fall.
Ridiculous bit of business by Barcelona again. Loaning a 120 million played now instead of doing it earlier so Messi maybe could have stayed.
Isnt he meant primarily as a Kante backup though?
They would be mad to do that. Kanté is almost irreplaceable. He’s a rotation option for Jorginho and Kovačić. Probably more Kovačić as Saul likes to push forward.
Edit - In fact I think he will replace Kovačić after a few games.
