Did he not win the Champions League with Bayern last season. Or did I dream that?

Didnt Lukaku cancel contract negotiations because we didnt sign Manolo Gabbiadini?
Yep, I guess we will know once and for all today whether the club has any actual ambitions for the season, or whether it’s just another season of mediocrity at EFC.
Which if the latter, kind of defeats the point of bringing in Carlo on such big money, unless the long term plan was always for after this season, when a load more of the horrific signings on long term contracts are finally gone.

Perisic ,yes please
Not saying I really want him, but could definitely see the club signing Josh King today. All thing considered, he's better than nothing.
We'll buy a 16 year old keeper from Scotland and another right footed centre back
With Cenk Tosun going - the only viable buy would be someone like Josh King if we can prise him away, but I doubt we will bring anyone in.
Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs, Leicester, United, City, Liverpool
They're all finishing above this squad as is barring some real luck with injuries on our side.
That's not me being negative. It's me being realistic. We can't control games and have no option to change things up.
However, all those teams around us are mightly inconsistent too. But it's strength in depth which will get them through. We simply don't have that.
The bloated squad isn't even a thing either now. It's bloated in one area - central midfield - and one of those players is Delph and the other hasn't played in 18 months.
It's not really though. It doesn't have to be a world beater, but a player who comes in and offers something a bit different could just be the catalyst for a great run. Look at someone like Jelavic coming in and the impact he had in that first few months. There are plenty of others who've done a similar thing too. I'm not saying it will happen obviously, but I don't agree that you necessarily have to be a great player to have a big impact over a short period, particularly if you offer something the team otherwise doesn't have. A player with pace for example, could completely change the way we play, and make everybody look better.
What honestly gives you confidence about top 6 mate after January’s performances? Serious question!
Man U will claim a place, they have quality in Fernandes, Rashford etc, Chelsea will surely improve under Tuchel and have the squad to do so, Spurs fully loaded have better options than us and Leicester despite losing yesterday looked a significantly better side than us last week and going forward will win more than they lose.
I think it was more a general realisation that we weren’t doing a Man City in terms of bringing in top class players.
