Sissoko is not a Dembele replacement, Ndombele is. Therefore we haven't addedI do think the significance of the Ndombele signing is being massively downplayed here. For me he does improve us considerably. It was a pretty awesome signing. If anything the vastly improved Sissoko was our Dembele replacement already, so Ndombele really does add to the squad. 'Dembele replacement' doesn't quite sit right for me.
Sessegnon brings extra to the squad too, no doubt about it. Providing Rose stays for another year.
Add another big talent like Lo Celso or Bruno and that brings some freshness and new life into the squad for sure. Both and we would really be in business.
Totally get the frustration though, does feel like the perfect timing to really push the boat out, even if it meant tightening our belts for a year or two after (see Liverpool).
