So what we all thinking then as the window is about to slam shut?
On paper, with everyone fit, that starting 11 is very very good.
Cleared out a lot of players that needed clearing out.
A core of 15 or 16 top players.
My only concerns are around injuries, particularly in midfield, I know we have 6 players competing for 2 places but is the quality strong enough?
Moises and Lavia, if they stay fit, is perfect but I would of liked a top quality back up.
Can young Barco be that player? Or even younger Reggie? Both a big ask.
Reece is not a midfielder for me.
Henderson may be the answer in the cup games.
I don't want to see Gusto in there.
Come on Chelsea, give us another midfielder and this window will rank as the ownership's best by far since they flew in 4 years ago.

Poor. If we let Enzo go without replacing James and Gusto, in big games we get eaten in midfield, because they're not midfielders. Lesser teams for the rest, yes, but not against the top 7.

I am incredibly happy with this window, particularly the exits.
Would I like at least one more midfielder? Yes. Do I think the club tried its very best to get one, maybe two, more midfielders? Absolutely, yes.

Agree, outgoings. We've made some good money. The club knew Enzo was going, so I think if they don't find a replacement it's poor. Cacaido lasted minutes in the last match. If he's out, the midfield is struggling.

Camara deal agreed. ?

Yes, have just posted this, swcfc, and it is very good news, assuming we can get the paperwork done in time, which I guess we can. Seems it's a 6yr deal for c 47 million quid?

But didn't go through of course, so we are v thin in midfield.
