Luiz yesVilla selling both Luiz and Diaby could really hit them hard. A lot of pressure on incoming signings to hit the ground running.
Diaby.. nah
Flopped badly

The market is ridiculous this summer. Apart from the deals rigged for PSR purposes, there are some insane fees being offered for complete nobodies.

I don’t think any haveA lot of clubs are juggling. Trying to keep in line with the spending rules. Which is fine. It's what they have to do.
You could argue we've done the same in some of our transfers. Paying more for one player and less for another to save on sell on fees (kulu, bentancur just one example). Rodon, gray in some eyes might be seen in the same light if we were at risk of psr.
Problem with juggling is that the more balls you have in the air. The more chance you have of dropping one. We'll see if those clubs have actually improved their playing squad as the season goes on.

ImprovedDropped a ball?
Neither have we. We haven't improved our starting XI. Maybe Gray or Bergvall can challenge for a starting place (they will start games, because no one can play all games), but none are definite starters. But We've improved our squad to the point that in midfield, there won't be a significant drop in quality, regardless of who plays.I don’t think any have

I'm happy too. It was just in response to others vaguely suggesting we've improved much compared to our rivals. In reality it's pretty much status quo. Most have just slightly improved the squad.Think we'd all like a marquee signing or 2. Get us excited that we can push on.
Happy with our business so far though.

We've improved for the future. Maybe they can make immediate impact too.Partly that was me. I was just saying that on paper a lot of money has exchanged hands (for those clubs). When in reality it hasn't. It's a juggling act which i'm not sure if anything has been added. But they'll still have to pay for in the future in regards psr (as long as amortisation kicks in after a player is no longer u21).
For us. Gray, bergvall we'll see.

I take your overall point, but on this one point I think if Udogie is injured we would move VdV to left back. Having said that, Davies was soooooo far forwards in the first half of the Vissel Kobe game, it really is a midfield/attacking role for 75% of the game, so we could indeed play Donley or Skipp or someone else random, rather than a LB.Long term injuries to Udogie and Richy would have us starting Davies at LB and Son at CF
