Behave yourself, it’s frightening how much he’s cost us over the years and what we’ve actually got back. Different dimension? He was a waste of space who needed the ball put on a plate for him because he wouldn’t graft to make something happen himself or attack the ball when it was put into the area.
Yes we could still do with a goalscorer, but at least Mateta Edouard and Ayew give their all for the shirt even if they’re not the greatest strikers we’ve ever had

Made in Bromley

If we can’t scrape together £10m-£15m for a position where we desperately needed someone then we are either in a poor state or our owners want a bit more pie themselves than they are letting on.

I have to disagree with you about Edouard and IMO doesn’t give his all and is lazy plus technically questionable.

Bring back Brolin

At least he gives more than Benteke did and given a few more starts his ability should begin to show, always assuming he gets the right service with balls placed into space and not straight at him so it has to be off loaded quick.
This last is our main weakness, reminiscent of Arthur Rowe's 'push and run' which doesn't work these days.

Mateta runs around more but usually without purpose.

We need a new Glen Murray !

When the next window opens, we will have only played 18 league games, then we can assess the situation and address accordingly, while a lot of clubs have done their money.

When the next window opens, the World cup will have just ended, Clubs will be spending millions on those who accomplished greatness. Prices will escalate but the players we were/maybe interested in, dependent on who you believe, won't be in this group. Got a feeling that we may get some bargain gems completely under the radar, well here's hoping.
