For a top quality starting 11 we are a number 6 short where us as fans can be confident of challenging for the league.
For an "elite" side, I say that includes quality in depth with our bench players and I feel we are slightly weak in that department still. We could do with 2 midfielders, a backup CB and arguably an attacking RB (Dalot may or may not be the answer).
Imagine we added Neves, Saul and Kounde (who won't be guaranteed to start for Chelsea if he moves) to this team. That instantly gives us a team imo on par, if not potentially better than the very best in Europe with the likes of Man City, Chelsea, PSG and Bayern. These other teams mentioned have incredible depth in midfield where they can freely rotate and still have enough quality starting, even if we signed just Neves, we are 1 midfield injury away from reverting back to McFred, hence why we need 2 midfielders!
