Qwiss We are at a point now where we have a very good first XI, Havertz included but its not been enough. We need more really high quality and when I look at the squad there are 2 positions in the first XI I think are easier to upgrade than anywhere esle. That centre forward and left wing. Then when I look at depth its fine at LW and non-existent at centre forward. Ideally we'd have signed one last summer and get another this summer but it'll probably be one of the 2 this summer and I'm a lot more comfortable going into next season with Saka, Nwaneri, Martinelli and Trossard for the wings than Haverts and a half a Jesus for CF.
This is the one point I disagree with you on. We have now built a squad where the options for constantly improving diminish. For example, there is nobody I would want over Rice, Odegaard, Raya, Saliba, Gabriel in world football right now. Salah is obviously better than Saka, but there aren't too many obviously better alternatives. And the same is true of Havertz. He does all the great linking and control work, so we need to find a forward who doesn't destroy that and also gives us goals. This is a very small set of people, and the market knows this. Which makes it hard to improve. Even Sesko is still below Havertz as an overall player right now. So we are looking at a small set of players like Isak.
It's telling that big clubs spent big on old centre forwrads recently (Kane and Lewandoski). I just don't think the options for improving on Havertz are numerous. What we should do, however, is get the necessary depth beyond Havertz, Trossard and Martinelli - a Gakpo level guy who can also be counted on for 10-15 goals while we pursue the unicorn
