Incidentally, I’ve voted 4. Porro seems like a strong signing to solve a long term issue, so that’s good. Not convinced about Danjuma, but hopefully he’ll do the business and seems to be more squad strength rather than first team.

But we are weak at the back still and should have got a centre back in. And a quality one at that. Also a bit bored with seeing players leave on loan, would like to see us sell a few at some point. Don’t think Paratici is doing anything startling with his outgoing deals.
 
Porro is basically an emergency surgery to stem the bleeding from the head. Meanwhile we're walking on a broken leg, hard to be very pleased with that.

We might limp into 4th again.

We were supposed to build on last season's rescue job by Conte, but we find ourselves in exactly the same position.
 
I have given it a 5 as everyone has said Porro is the best RWB in the world , and Chelsea have proved it’s very tough to get targets in during the January window so the centre back will have to wait till summer!

Yup, I've always hated Levy for that. I'm convinced he deliberately addresses as few problems as he can to just keep us in the top 4 and no more. Like a stingy landlord who only fixes issues after a lot of complaining, and only does the most basic/cheapest job possible.

Look at this whole Porro saga, if he'd just bought him on the first of Jan, we'd have spent a month demanding a CB. In the end he's got a lot of people feeling grateful for getting Porro over the line.

It’s 100% why Levy does big deals on deadline. 100% a plan to get the fans on side. Get him early, we would all be crying for a CB all window. Get this done late, it satisfies the majority
 
Anyone that votes less than 9 is a gooner wanker and should get some tissues so they can cry more and must also be mentally ill too

I've no idea if Porro's the business because I've hardly seen him in action, but we've all been crying out for a proper RWB and here he apparently is. Job done.

Gil out. Don't like. He was looking useful and quite exciting to watch.

Doherty out. Meh. I'd have preferred Emerson to have gone but whatever.

Danjuma, hopefully a decent addition. Fingers crossed.

Summer, no CB. This Jan, no CB. We desperately need someone to challenge (read: replace) Dier and get rid of Sanchez.

I think Sess is shit. There. Said it. I can't recall a single game where I've been blown away by him. At very best, a six. Most of the time, a 3 or 4. He's had plenty of chances and fucked up too many of them. A timid husk of a footballer and I'd like to have seen someone in for him.

I get that we need to play it clever about Hugo's replacement but he's been a disaster thus far, cost us valuable points and I'd like to have seen a replacement come in. I get that he's been loyal and is our Captain, but do we want to win or not?

A Maddison type in midfield. Yep. Fortunately, our midfield isn't too shabby so no urgency.

I'd like to have seen players sold. Cut the price if necessary and bump up the cash ready for the summer transfer window. Please don't haggle all summer, Levy.

Score: 5

(If Porro and Danjuma turn out to be Bentancur and Kulu level and turn us around, I reserve the right to call myself a clueless fucknut)

I really don’t think he gives a shit. Unless it looks like his position or the P&L is at risk….he’s never given a shit

It's been a funny season really, the decline of Hugo and Son has hit us quite hard. Which with an actual plan/vision of the club could've been avoided.

We're in this vicious cycle where every window we get emergency gaps that we need to fill, in turn neglecting areas that will become emergency gaps the following season/window.

Poor, absolutely no efforts to move on from even Davinson Sanchez and now we are facing a massive rebuild in defence in the summer and next season being another transition season.

Exactly, he sure as hell gave a shit in January 2009 when we were in a relegation fight. We spent £38m on Defoe, Keane, Chimbonda, Palacios and Cudicini pretty damned quick. It wasnt difficult to do deals that January mysteriously. It shows he/we can do it, but generally wont.
