Very happy to hear squad balance is the key this window. Be great to have options in all areas and be able to push on several fronts. Just hope we manage to keep hold of most of the squad.
Squad Ballance was always the objective this window. That in turn, has to be Ballanced with the home grown quota. With a limited budget this entails certain non key squad members moving on to make room, and the likes of Hart coming in to fill gaps.
Add into this Jose's wish to get younger players out on loan to gain experience and playing time, and also the financial constraints coming from Covid. This is without question as difficult as it gets in a transfer window.
The silver lining is Jose offering up a list of obtainable targets, and the fact he is listening to the clubs scouts and advisors as far as alternatives go. If everything pans out there is a still a lot of movement to take place. There will be no room for Jose to hide, the way things are planning out. Can't remember a time when DL was so determined to get a manager what he asks for, but then the players being requested are far more in tune with the chairman's preferred price range.
Expect more in in the next week or so as well as possible outs. No huge money superstar signings but players giving us options and balance to add to the superstars already here.

really good to hear that mourinho and levy are on the same page, when a chairman has one vision and the manager another it can often not end well, excited to hear this and for the season in general, thanks for the information as always mate?Squad Ballance was always the objective this window.

It's still a much better window than 2 years ago already ?I cannot believe all this optimism when we've signed someone from Southampton and Joe bloody Hart! Maybe step back and see the bigger picture. This is a serious reduction in ambition for the club. Balance is necessary but getting all giddy when we've made a couple of average signings is nuts. I wanna see what some of you write IF we get our second choice striker.
I'd like to see what you write if Jose's plan pays off by the end of next season.I cannot believe all this optimism when we've signed someone from Southampton and Joe bloody Hart!

A bit of sanity at last. But probably suits all those who continually whined about how we were overachieving as we now just target second and third string players

Gave you an optimistic rating because I’m a completist by nature and hate not seeing the full rating display when it’s so close to being achieved.I cannot believe all this optimism when we've signed someone from Southampton and Joe bloody Hart!
