Or we might be making some sensible free purchases in order to use our main budget on some quality additions. Either way Tarkowski is a great signing.

I envy your optimism, hope you're correct I'm very jaded at this point but I agree about tarkowski hes better than anything we have bar mina but he's perpetually injured so he doesn't really count
I think we all need to relax a little. It’s very early in the transfer window.
Even though our board are incompetent at best they 100% won’t want another season like last and risk another relegation battle and neither still Lampard. We will get the signings. Just ignore the rumours as they are mostly made up. Hopefully we have a few in before the start of the season.
Plus Gbamin will be a like a new signing ??

Very very early days yet, some players are still on holiday.

I like your optimism, but important to remember that the season starts earlier this year to accommodate the WC. Exactly one month until our first league match against Chelsea, so there is some urgency. Our only preseason match against a PL opponent is in 10 days.
I may well have seen them mate. Sorry I don't recall them specifically.
I do agree with you 100% though. 5-2-3 would be absolutely suicidal for us, we simply don't have the type of midfielders needed for it and the ones that fit the bill are way beyond our financial means. The personnel we have available (more importantly, the ones we'd want to keep) lend themselves to a 4-3-3 and we currently only need one good DM and one good wide attacker (right sided) in order to field a stronger first XI than we did last year.
After those two arrivals we'd then be able to improve the first XI in a number of ways (subject to selling some high-wage, low contribution players like Mina, Keane, Gomes and Gbamin to clear more space on the payroll and build a modest transfer budget). Bring in another CM, a second DM and another forward who can play centrally AND wide right, and suddenly we're distinctly improved.

Patterson - Tarkowski - Holgate - Mykolenko
Iwobi - NEW DM - Doucoure
NEW RW - Calvert-Lewin - Gordon/Gray
If we are desperate for money we could try and sue fabrizio Romano for stealing the phrase ‘here we go’ from our 1985 fa cup final song

I think the problem we have right now is any player worth their salt will have multiple premier league suitors. There is currently very few clubs we can compete with for the profile of player we want to attract (younger high potential).
If you are the agent of one of these players you would be directing them towards Crystal Palace, Brighton, Southampton etc.. These clubs have an environment which gives these players the best chance to develop
If you look at us in recent seasons outside of Gordon we have not really given youth a chance. We are a very unstable football club and the environment is high pressure because the demands of the supporters are high compared to some of these other teams
Sadly we are much more likely to sign Sky 6 cast offs like Winks and Lingard. It is going to be a difficult cycle to get out of.
I suspect Tarkowski only joined us because he wanted to say in the North west. Sad times

Jason Knight from Derby.
Central midfielder, 21 years old, current contract expires in June 2023. Something like £6m would get him, I reckon.
And then in game two onwards injuries set in and we have Davies, Holgate or Godfrey has DM and Rondon up front
And where do we wedge in Dele in the new RW role?
From Derby they can't afford to ask 6 million.
Red Kev been on GOT again more like using a multi! Big Oil?
Anyone new linked i have seen Onana talked about,
