It'll make us better next year but could set us back 3 years if it stops us for looking for a longer term option and he loses it halfway through his contract here and just eats wages until it expires. I wouldn't.

I understand your reasoning, but there's every chance that the younger option will just flop and never improve us at all. Chelsea think he is good enough to offer him a further two years. I think we should be willing to take a hit on the cost of his wages in the third year to get hold him.
That's if he would even consider us. Bigger, better, clubs will be interested in him.

There's a chance it might not work isn't a good reason to not do something. Playing it safe will get us nowhere that much I'm sure of.

I agree.
But part of your reasoning in being against signing Willian on a free is that it might not work out, and/or that it represents too much of a risk. Ultimately, every signing represents a risk, there are no sure-things. But personally, I'm absolutely sick and tired of buying 30 million pound flops that don't cut the mustard.
I'm not in love with him, if there's someone better then fine, go and get him. But I think he would be a very good addition, and also think we may struggle to attract him because bigger clubs will also be interested in him.
It's nice you want to spend £10m on Mertens even tho he's on a free in the summer. That's the reason he was "available" in January for about £5m.

Even better!
Give him 150k a week and get him in - even if he only has enough left in the tank for 2 seasons he'll easily be one of if not our best player.

The problem is we get better for a year maybe two, still win nothing because of how far off we are, and end up right back where we were except there's another Sarr or whoever tearing it up that we didn't sign and could have.

Fine, lets hope we get a Sarr and not an Iwobi.

Why would he come here.

Even if he did, turning him down.

Agreed. I just think we can step up in quality without making Crystal Palace type past their peak but still decent signings.

We have about 5 or 6 players, at a push, who are good enough to take us to Europa spots. Maybe 2 or 3 Champs league quality.
We are where we are simply because of that. If Ancelloti manages to pull off 6th or 7th it'll actually be a very good feat. 9 games left and we've still not even hit 40 pts.
This summer I'd love to see 2 top 4 quality players brought in and 2 top 6 quality players. Then get rid of the absolute gash on loan or perm. I think that'd be enough to help us get top 4 at a push with no European footie. Maybe a cup if lucky.
