Sicario2 with this and the players we're heavily linked to, I would agree that there can't be excuses (assuming Arteta is fully on board with all signings) - the club have massively backed us this summer. My concern is that we're investing poorly but you can't say we're not actively filling the gaps in our squad.
Things I like about this signing:
Back-up to Saka
Knows the PL
If he succeeds, it will be really satisfying (the Havertz effect)
Things I don't like about this signing:
The price
The fact we're funding Chelsea
The fact we're buying another beige attacker
As a fan base, the club has proven us wrong a few times in it's recruitment the last few years; as others have mentioned, there have been quite a few players we were rightfully sceptical about that turned good. Personally, I only have to look at Raya, who ended up being my POTS last year. So that's my glass half-full take. But I really struggle to believe our attack is going to be anything other than efficient/effective at best next season and largely lacking in inventiveness/flair. Very disappointed with the profile we've ended up going for when we've finally started recruiting attackers.
