I recall at the start of this window that it was said that the focus was on strengthening the attacking 3rd!
30 hours to go and we haven’t strengthened the attacking at all.

We’ve flirted and romanced Paixao again seemingly to no avail again!

Chelsea don’t want Mudryk to come here so why haven’t we walked away.



Fofana is there to get.
Bohoya is there to get.
Hernandez £20m release clause
Osorio.

Strikers
Biereth
Flemming
Ilenhikena.

There’s loads of options.

They'll no doubt consider Wilson as improving the attacking 3rd. But if we see a window where Harrison, Piroe, Gelhardt, Ramazani, and Gnonto all leave, having Nmecha, Aaronson, Wilson, Okafor, James and DCL for three spots is not enough quality, and not enough depth.

I wonder, also, if they're not going to add to the centre backs much further, and move to four at the back if injuries dictate it (Elvedi and Muharemovic actually did quite well as a pair in the second half vs. Brentford) , or rely on Alfie Cresswell, Ngenge or Ampadu until Jan as real emergency depth. Remember, we all wondered if Lienou would get a chance to stake his place. We all said Amps isn't a CB, but the way the defence is going, it could happen.

Amps is not a CB? You're forgetting his solid partnership with Rodon when called upon.

Amps was decent at CB, but we need him in CDM.

Better cb than mf. Just playing mf cause captain.

Ampadu is not a Premier League CB.
And, he's too vital in CM.
