As it stands right now I think we have overestimated how good the recruitment has been due to it actually hsving a strategy and the sky is falling financial situation some stated was this summer (no signings no money etc)
We have undoubtedly strengthened in defence and center mid (assuming Gueye does eventually arrive), but are weaker out wide (McNeil is not as good as Richy by a margin) and up front (Richy is miles better than Rondon).
We've added long term Tarkowski (29) McNeil (22) and Onana (20)
Lost Richy (25)
Coadey and Viniager are both loans the latter very unlikely (as in no chance whatsoever) to be made permanent if the 17m options true the former at 12m will be 30 by next Sumner so not by any means a sure thing we will take up that option either.
Gueye if he does indeed arrive is 33 soon and very much a 2 season option at best.
It's why the remaining recruitment has to be spot on imo, and has to be focused on the long term .
Bringing in a few jobber type strikers dies t solve any issue except the very short term one, they would be a band aid covering for DCL when he's out, and replacing Rondon. But next season we will most likely need to start looking at either replacing Coadey and Vinegar having a suitable alternative brought in for a then 34yo Gueye, and with no real long term solution for DCL in place.
It's why IF we are holding out for what Chelsea decide it's not the worst idea, Broja would represent a real looking forward strategy, as would Gallagher and to a lesser extent Gilmour (due to doubts about him)
Seen people talking about bringing in two strikers from the rag tag linked ones - likely we're dropping 25-30m doing so fir players who honestly we'd need to look to replace if we try to move upwards.
Rather we spend whatever we gsve getting in players who are already better than these and with a massively higher potential ceiling on them.
As I've said recruitment seems to have been done allowing us to start playing how Lampard wants to do (to a degree) but it needs to be done with a sustainable long term plan in place. We've recruited atm mainly to firebreak the major problems, now thsts done we need to look at progressive recruitment.

If we work on the premise we can spend say 30m on players this sesson, then a deal for either Broja or Gallagher becomes affordable (whichever they'd sell and load them with extra add-ons if needed up to 35m or give them a buy back at 50% mark up) and try get the other on a loan with a similar structured option to buy.
That's the type of business which would see me looking at us being significantly stronger this sesson, but also looking at the development of the team naturally to be improved over 2-3 seasons as they improve.
As it stands right now long term we haven't fixed many issues at all, one very reliable CB and one very high potential cm added, the team frankly needs a lot more than that to not be in a repeating cycle of trying to fix 5-6 areas every season.

Summer break still from work mate and bored as hell ??
Looks like El Bilal from Reims.
Lower the tone? I just said he’s a raw player.
I’m making more and more mistakes than ever while tying, but it’s completely different when I’m writing. I think I just need to slow the fluff down.

Haha I dipped out 4 lines in, to early for such in depth writing
Niasse raw or a proper looking footballers kind of raw with potential?
Oh miles more potential than him lol but he did look quite erratic, explosive last season. I don’t know if he’d be a reliable central striker we need with Dom out. Wouldn’t mind him + a battering ram like the lad at Luton.
