True, though difficult to compare like with like as their arrival also coincided with us having a settled defence for the only lengthy spell that season.

I do think without a couple of quality attacking options we will struggle.

Not being patronising but i am sure the club and Emery knows this - the main moves will happen closer to the deadline as teams become more desperate  - including ourselves.
We need the domino effect to kick in which will start a flurry of moves in and around our restricted budget levels

I know its a bit of an off the wall thought, but if we need to sell someone, I’d look at moving Konsa on. Big psr profit £60m-£70m, addresses the issue of not being able to start with Unai’s key player (Torres) and allows us to bring in a strong, RCB starter.

Who’s paying £60-70m for Konsa? I can’t think of any move that align to those sort of figures.

It's just dawned on me that the season starts in less than three weeks and we still haven't signed anyone.

I'm not panicking, I just want some excitement.

This Summer's window has been shit, just a boring accountants wet dream.

the silver lining is that it could have been worse. We haven't sold any key players. Look at CL Newcastle and the players who have turned them down, Isak doesn't want to be there. Not what their fans thought when they qualified. I imagine only signing Elanga for a lot of money wasn't all they thought they'd do to this point this summer.

If we absolutely had to sell a current starter, someone beyond the obvious (Bailey, Buendia), he’d be my choice too.

As a boring accountant, this is not wet dream material.

Seems as if we're having the equivalent of newcastle's summer last year. Hopefully the end result for us is similar.

Forget that Chevalier, he's agreed terms with PSG.
I remember his brother Maurice well, played left half for  Le Crueuset  FC.
You couldn't play for Le Crueuset unless you had a good motor on you.

I think they have a stronger frontline than us which is what took them to a trophy.

We are definitely light on attacking options.
