Good player, shame he's going to Chelsea but glad it's not the Goons as he would definitely improve them.

Remember a couple of months ago, some saying we wouldn't get 7 players in this summer?
We won't get 7 players in this summer. 6 probably, but not 7 I don't think. Everyone seems to think we're going to sign some trequartista type, but Conte really doesn't go for that if he can help it. I think our lack of genuine interest in Eriksen is another big clue to that end.
I know we've been helped by 2 free transfers, but I don't think spending c.£150m though on 4 other players was in anyone's line of expectations.

Reckon we'll get the 6 before going to s korea, but have a little left in the bank (especially if we shift some). Come deadline day there will be a lot of teams that will need to balance the books. We'll get loads of offers and can see a van der vart/eriksen type deal happen.

Still want a genuine striker myself … Brereton please
The LCB and RWB
What’s key is so far we haven’t had outgoings which is kinda scary. Good scary though
I think the players we'll be going for late, if there's any, will be the likes of Nathan Collins or Brennan Johnson on loan back deals, a bit like Sarr last summer.
It's not going to be someone for the first 11 - we're planning and operating much better than that now it seems
We still have a dead wood to shiftI don't think we'll go for a CF once Richarlison is in. They'll get zero minutes and just rot like Janssen. I like Brereton a lot, but I don't think it makes any sense after Richarlison.
In terms of outgoings, we did clear the decks a lot last summer and in January. Ndombele and Lo Celso were the only unquestionable 'deadwood' left. Winks and Bergwijn are just being upgraded upon with Bissouma and Richarlison.

But it’s not really holding us back currently
We need (IMO) another attacker as we would have 4 who conte can trust plus Moura
Is that enough ….
We will break these 4 players with the volume of games and the World CupI think Conte trusts Moura. If he doesn't I don't think he'll be here when the window closes.
Is Moura good enough, and a good enough fit to be the "fifth choice" option? Perhaps, perhaps not for me.
Would not be against signing another attacker, but could be difficult to attract the right player with Kane, Son, Kulusevski, Richarlison (if we sign him) already here. Could also be a question of priorities, we still have other areas we need to strengthen in.

Moura … I don’t think he is trusted, I think he is the only option left
It’s why I think the Zaniolo talk is a good fit for us
