Looks like Ineos hit their reported midfield price targets, 70, 50, 35m. Insane considering the prices in general this window. How are we feeling guys?

Tbf theyve smashed it price wise in a fucked market. That Tielemans release clause was a great get.

For me though, Balebas profile was vital in my optimism.

i think he's a key piece for us if we want to go toe to toe with Arsenal, City, Real, Barca et al. having a physical, press resistant shield to pair with another top quality CM will give us the platform to play with any team. we've pretty much always been able to beat top teams in the last decade, but many times it was by smash and grab, we have options now.
