Ignoring Chelsea, and maybe Arsenal, are there any other PL clubs that made signings this month that would have immediately improved our team? Even Man United brought two guys in on loan, one of which flopped badly at Burnley. Man City let Cancelo go without even bringing in a replacement. Spurs got in that right back they have been tracking for two seasons. Liverpool midfield is in a mess but no only another forward.
McKennie I think will be a good signing for Leeds but that aside I can't see many obvious ones.
The only money spent really has been by those desperate, the relegation threatened teams and Chelsea, and Arsenal trying to cover bases for a title run in.
I think it says a lot about how inflated the market prices are for players linked to Premier League teams
Trossard and Jorginho were good signings by Arsenal I think. But what they were proposing to pay for Caicedo was insane. Fair play to Brighton for not buckling. Chelsea more ridiculous stuff, replicating the start of the Abramovich era. Forest too, 25 or so signings, hope they go down to be honest, signing jokers like Shelvey. Their wage bill must be unbelievable with likes of Lingard doing nothing.
Maybe in hindsight the likes of Archer and Sanson should have been kept on as I think both would have got plenty of minutes on the pitch. For their respective careers though their moves made sense.
