Trepidation for the 26/27 Prem season ?

Back to the original title of this thread…

I now have no Trepidation for the season. Our new players will shine. Our old players will stop moaning and be professional and let’s face it, we’re only 6 points behind Arsenal. If we finish six point behind Arsenal at the end of the season we will have done alright

Viva La Palace
we're only 6 points behind Hull as well
 
So, we didn’t spend nearly £100 million on two duds?
No we didn’t. My understanding was that Johnson was around £25m-£30m plus add ons and it’s likely Everton took on the money still due to Spurs at say 50% which is usual. Means we spent as little as £12.5m on the waste of space. As for SL, yes the total fee is over £45m but it wouldn’t surprise me if we get rid of him for a lesser fee with money still owed to Wolves. Would be a smart move to admit that that window was a disaster and try to minimize the damage and cut our losses.
 
If this is true, it’s good news. What I simply don’t understand is how we were panicked into buying two players I had never really heard of for so much money. Obviously Glasner was throwing his toys out of the pram but he will never last more than two or three years anywhere he goes. Like Mourinho. We have never had success spending a lot of money. Ian Wright, Vince Hilaire, Kenny Sansom…and many others, diamonds for nothing. I think a great scouting network is essential.
Nothing would give me greater pleasure than Strand Larsson delivering goals. Hopefully starting today.
