Hopefully Spence and a CB before Korea tour??? AM before season starts…

So Spence and either 1st choice Bremer or then Torres.

AM is the intriguing one here and maybe this is one whereby an opportunity will present itself as clubs face the financial squeeze later on in the window but does make you wonder whether the Eriksen ship has truly sailed....

We are very much verging on A+ transfer window territory if we get all that.

Would still need another CB who's better than Lenglet imo otherwise we won't have actually improved the starting back three.

But yeah, lots of positive ITK and looking good. Much more on board with Bremer now Lenglet is signing as back-up so hopefully WLB's issues can be resolved.

Agree. Think the eriksen ship has indeed sailed and it'll then depend on what we've got left available after all of the 'outs', maybe for a last minute splurge. If bremer comes too, oh wow. We're going to be absolutely horrible to play against next season. Add an AM (paqueta?) to what we've already got and we'll have everything we need for a shot at everything.

The itk this window has matched the players coming in, been absolutely superb.

When asked if the CB he was referring to was Lenglet

Another??

An attacking midfielder link? Yay.

A creative option in our squad, if both GLC and Ndombele leave, would move this window to another level.

 

[MindOverMatter]

Hopefully another Brazilian comes to us… maybe the one from PSG… seems to be good

 

[Timberwolf]

Given we've gone from potentially dropping 60-70m on a LCB to (very likely) getting Lenglet on loan for less than 5m, I think it makes sense that we'd target an AM later in the window. Especially if we can make some sales to drum up some extra cash.

If that lot comes off as ValY is suggesting we could get a "that's all folks" about a month before the window shuts

Does this mean in addition to Lenglet? Assume so - if so, if all that comes off, that is as perfect a window as you could hope for

Honestly, you throw in to the mix a quality creative AM like Paqueta who can also play RWF then I seriously think our team is very close to being on Liverpool and City’s level. The only real question mark bring Spence at RWB considering his youth and lack of PL experience, not that I don’t want him.

check out @Bubble44 post about 6 up. CB is not lenglet.

Love all these options. How would we fare with HG though?

I read it as in addition to Lenglet

I'm pretty confident given our position at the moment that even if we are all done we will be alert to any last minutes bargains. There will definitely be some desperate teams towards the end of the window.

With the exception of Djed S., all of the players are non HG.
it's going to be very interesting how we balance this.
All of the ITK this is a really fun time

It'll be balanced by Ndombele, Lo Celso, Bergwijn and potentially Moura/Royal not being in the team

yup, agree. Apologies if i wasn't clear. Sounds like it's bremer with lenglet as many people (and ITK) have touted for some time with torres (for bremer) as the fall back option. Don't think we're losing much in translation between those two and bastoni but obviously saving a fair bit on outlay. Even though it looks like spend, spend, spend so far, i bet we'll still come out well within our means given how much creative work is clearly being put into each and every deal.

am really excited to see what's next.

The AM before seasons starts is the one there that would make this window an A++!
Spence and another CB in addition to Lenglet are crucial but expected from what we've heard the last few weeks but that extra AM could be the difference between us getting over the line to win something and not given the 5 sub rule etc.

With Bergwijn off our front 5 would be : Kane, Son, Kulu, Richarlison, Lucas (not bad by any stretch but Lucas isn't up to it and should be 6th choice attacking option at best, we need more than just Richarlison as attacking depth especially competing on 4 fronts if one of those 4 gets injured then we're back to just Lucas off the bench so another AM is vital imo to complete the window this summer. A lot also depends on our plans at LWB as if as expected Perisic will be n.o choice with Sess back-up and we sell Reggi then a 6th AM is 100% needed, if the plan is to keep Sess and Reggi and Perisic will switch between LWB and the wide forward/n.o10 role as Conte calls is then we might not need a 6th AM but moreso a creative CM option.

It will be interesting as to what type of player we look for for that extra AM position but if we can get Spence and another CB in before pre-season then we can sit back with our feet up and just focus simply on shifting a ton of players and keeping our eye out for the best AM opportunistic signing we can get.

Personally an A+ window is us getting players out the door as well
