What makes you say we got our 2nd choice keeper?Our 3 main priorities at start of window were GK, CB (min of 1) and attacking midfielder/no.10 type.
If we sign VDV instead of topsoba then 2 ways of looking at our business. We will have signed our no.1 midfield target & no.2 GK and CB which can be argued is good.
Other way of looking at it is we have failed to secure 2 of our main 3 targets who were both a great age and represented less risk than the no.2 options particularly the GK who would have been a near guaranteed success as a signing can be given he knows the league, plays exactly the way we needed etc.
I flip flop between the 2 views but I'm more on the latter at minute
