Genuinely don't get some of the just ridiculous negativity. As a football fan this sort of signing should bloody excite you, if it doesn't well I just feel a bit bad.
I can understand the negativity about this transfer window. We expected Sancho, many like me hoped for Grealish, we desperately needed a centre back, we should have signed one of several excellent young central defensive midfielders there are about as well...................and we have signed none of the above, instead a left back and a 33yr old striker, neither of which for me we needed 10% as much as the afore mentioned positions and VDB though perhaps astute isnt an exciting signing. So I dont expect a great season still and also feel we are still after 5 signings, still a few short
But on the other side of the coin, longer term this could turn out to be a very good window with these two young signings. Like everybody else I know little of either bar youtube and though you can see talent with both undoubetly there is nothing telling. But reading about the two of them, they genuinely seem extremely highly rated youngsters, not the usual hype but actual genuine huge prospective talents. Though we have failed to address our most chronic probelms in this window at all which is laughable, you look at the likes of Pellestri, Diallo, Greenwood, Mjebri, Mengi, Henderson and there is genuine optimism looking 18months or so ahead along with the likes of Tuanzabe, Laird, Williams, Garner and a few other youth products makign there way there really should be at least three maybe 5 or 6 top young players in our side in a couple of years time....tho of course Gomes, Morrison, Januzaj....you really never know
