I understand that, I was simply commenting on the level of player and it justifying the balance of the squad.
Anyway, I digress, we should have been targeting the CB/LB/No.9 position.

That may well be the case but if either of them are given a chance and they impress they'll likely find themselves right in the mix...... (Particlarly because - as you pointed out - they both play in areas of relatively poor depth.)
This isn't Conte; where you play a blinder and then get dropped because you're not the oldest in your position in the squad.
That may be the thinking, I'm not sure. Has Veliz even trained with the first team? I've yet to see any photo of him after the shirt presentation...
He's not locked away in one of Levy's cells is he?
He’s certainly not pulling his hair out, that’s for sure.
In some twisted way it would be pretty funny for us to not meet their valuation, the deal to fall through, and Forrest to get in FFP hot waters.
Fuck we are doing a Leeds
Because he’s quite poor and was taking up a squad place?
Seems like the targets today will be Johnson, Gallagher, Tosin/Kelly.
None of them are blockbuster singings but I actually rate all those players and they’d go a long way to solving our HG issues and give us a lot more flexibility to bring in players in the next few windows.
More important than their individual quality, they are clear fits for Ange’s style.
Hope Levy doesn’t fuck this.

Fair play Ed.
Made me sputter my coffee down my nice white blouse you cad
They do seem to provide a decent base that can we can continue to build on. We’ve neglected the HG issue for long enough and it was always going to bite us in the ass, especially combined with some of the underwhelming foreign players we’ve accumulated over the years.
Don’t really blame people for being underwhelmed though, we’re a big club, and should be able to do this a bit more gracefully, let alone in a window where we’ve sold Kane.
Obviously Johnson deal is a big asterisk at the moment but a portion of the Kane money will be used towards a winger/cb.
VDV deal cooled off then all of a sudden we agreed to terms? Did you think levy magically found the extra funds under his couch? Don’t be naive mate, the Kane deal was done and it was hushed by both sides so that we would not get taken to the cleaners by clubs demanding more money for targets.
Bah gawd, it's like Christmas morning.
In all seriousness, we've had desperation before that surely something will happen on deadline day only for rational actors like Ally Gold to piss on our chips and tell us we've closed shop for the window...
But that's not the case this time. Tomorrow is shaping up to be wild.
Partly, I understand that some players really are hard to shift out the door before near to the deadline. The other part, however, feels like we've left (apparently) key deals shamefully late. It doesn't feel unreasonable to assume that Levy actively gets off on this shit.

Ange will wake up this morning thinking , Levy shouldn’t, he wouldn’t, he couldn’t . By lunch time his enthusiasm will start to ebb away by the end of the day he will be totally disillusioned,
Can’t see Ned Kelly or whatever his name is lifting the gloom
