Good point, Freeki. Guess sometimes you’ve got to put some faith in the process.

Think people need to calm down. We weren’t fixing our issues in one window, Conte isn’t dumb and knows that. It’s going to make the summer that much more important (and difficult), but there’s nothing to say we can’t get 3 more in to at least give some more options, albeit maybe one really weird/lame one in Amrabat.

Same every year. Everyone knows how shite jan is for signings, I know we’ve heard he’ll be backed, but surely in the summer and not now. Traore seems to be the main one.

Who would you get then, and not least, how would you get them? There are three (or even four counting the agent) parties involved in a transfer, and they all have to be on board.

Our managerial debacle should have prepared us for this...
1 - have a great manager wanting to join
2 - opt for a cheaper version
3 - this messes up our season and causes greater toxicity in team and fan base
4 - have to cave in and get great manager
5 - fail to back great manager? TBC
We REALLY make it difficult for ourselves especially in a league where no one is going to do us any favours...
Even Villa making smarter moves in the market whereas we scrabbling around last minute and hoping for the equivalent of a lottery win that an amazing player wants us and their club will flog on the cheap.
To dare is to do? Yeah right...

And keeping Ndombele, GLC and Alli makes any difference to that when not being used anyway

Does Paratici work full time? Genuine question.
If he does, he's had 8 hours per day, 5 days per week from September - December to get in a good position to maximise our dealings in the Jan transfer window.
A loan for Amrabat and Traore is the potential result of all that work. wow.

For midfield? Bentancur, Arthur Melo, Guimares, Renato Sanches, Haidara, Boubacar Kamara, Wijnaldum, Ascacibar, Zakaria?

Love the ‘January is difficult’ line. We’ve been told how Juventus are broke but yet can find £70m in January to sign a player they know will improve them Immediately. All comes down to ambition. Signing 2 players who’ve spent half a season on the bench from midtable sides appears to be our level.

And how? If the clubs don't want to sell and the players don't want to join?

Villa - Coutinho & Digne (two first team additions)
Everton - two first team full backs and El Ghazi for squad depth.
Newcastle - Wood & Trippier (two first team additions)
Watford - signed 4 players. Haven't a clue whether they're decent or not.
Wolves - two additions
The above clubs are those that have either hired new managers and got some signings in early or those who are in a position where they need to strengthen as they're light on numbers or battling relegation.
Just because City, Lpool or Chelsea haven't strengthened doesn't mean we shouldn't. Top three is pretty much nailed on for all of them and they're likely happy to wait it out until Summer.
United - interim manager and would be foolish to strengthen until they bring in a new manager.
Arsenal - they're clearing out already and likey to make moves but they've done something we haven't - is get rid.
Whereas, we are fighting for top 4. There's a decent chance for us to get it if we strengthened with quality additions. Not stop gaps until the summer.
