Our total spend that summer was only £25m!

At least ManU let us have Sheringham back I suppose.

He offers pace, power and direct dribbling with an eye for goal. Other than Son (when on form) we don't have any players who are similar.
He is filling a deficiency in our squad and will be a very useful rotation option, allowing other more slow paced forwards rest as needed.

Have you seen Lucas play lately?
That's my thinking. I hope it's him but we won't get much back.

If a player becomes available that is better than we have and we can get him we should buy him
We have taken a back foot before on some players and others have jumped in so we have missed out at a good time to buy
If a top keeper was available and we could get him I’d fully endorse us buying him even though we have Hugo a sit brings the whole squad level up and drives competition

You really think we’re selling?
this is an area of the squad where we’re weak
we have a semi crocked Lamela playing regularly for example

As Jose has started Moura and Son together when he can, we have no similar option from the bench. Sessegnon hasn’t shown much yet in terms of an attacking threat and has recently been used as a left back so this will hopefully give us some in game flexibility for our forwarded play within game and a chance to rotate a little more.
One of the issues even when we were at our peak under Poch was we had little in the way of genuine depth, Kane Alli Son and Erisken played most games and the only position that got rotated was full back. If we can get a number 9 to supplement Kane then the front four positions will have a few different permutations going forward.

This sounds too familiar. Yes I had to google him
We bought a few of these and not so long ago.
This smacks of a cheap bit of speculative squad building.
Let's hope the lad shines.

this guy is going to rinse the PL. called it now we can quote this in 3 years. i think he's probably a bit one footed but he''ll cut in from the left for days and it hasn't stopped zaha/robben/lamela/silva etc. he has legitimate scary pace, like son. maybe faster.
i still think we need a DM but i guess no noise is good news nowadays.

This new guy is exactly what Sessegnon is/could be if played in his correct position.
Crazy thinking from Jose

That works both ways
Let hope he is another Adama Traoré which I bet is the thinking.
let's hope it works.

That makes some sense. This we have Sessegnon playing at f£"$ing left-back and we buy this guy! madness.

let's hope it works.
He has more ability than Traore, is younger and has CL experience. It's a no-brainer.

I had high hopes for Sessegnon considering how young he was when he broke through, but I’ve not seen much in the way of him getting past his man yet or playing with any real attacking thrust - he could be playing conservatively due to instruction or lack of confidence or maybe he hasn’t fully recovered from his hammy injury.
Either way he is playing left back and will probably get more games there in the short term. I think a number 9 is a bigger priority but I see strengthening the squad in another area where players get subbed and rotated the most as a positive thing, especially when you consider United and Chelsea with greater spending power have not done anything in this window yet.

Mourinho did address a possible reason in his 10th January press conference.

Buying this lad with Sessegnon sitting on bum somewhere is %$^£ madness IMHO.
I can only think that someone will be on his bike this summer.

Jose is setting his stall out for hunch signings and getting his excuses in early.
Bergwijn looks useful and fingers crossed is a success. Why we bought Sessegnon is beyond me. We might as well get Ryan out on loan.
Tanganga and Davies have left back sorted with others to sep in.

I think that he is saying that it is difficult to prise players away from clubs in January and that the deals that tend to get done are where relationships have broken down. By its nature, it's an opportunists window.

I can see us offloading Lamela to get Piacek
