This time last year fans were getting all giddy at some early signings, but look where that got us, in the end Conte was left with a criminally short squad and a load of players he did not want.
There is still a massive amount for Levy to get done before we can say we are going in the right direction.
We still need, 2 x CB, an upgrade on Hojbjerg and replacements for Lucas and Danjuma, and maybe a CF if Kane is sold.
Add to that we have a new coach who will need time to implement his ideas, of which there is no guarantee will be up to the job, only time will tell on that one, so getting all excited is way too premature.

Totally agree mate. Nothing wrong with praising the Maddison signing and having hope we are moving in the right direction, but I still don’t trust Levy

Billy, I am very post over the coming seasons. Two CBs though needed as a priority though.

Whats different about 12 months ago was that we were looking much the better team. Great run in, top 4, scoring for fun, it all looked very promising so adding the players that we did rightly gave us some optimisim.
I think the subtle change to this season is that Conte seemed to be very difficult to buy for. It seemed like it was Bastoni or no one in his eyes, so Lenglet was the stopgap. There were probably countless other CBs we could have gone for to improve the team.
I am guessing a bit but sense that Ange may well be prepared to work with any player who ticks the certain boxes he needs ticking - so not so focussed on names, but qualities.
Going forward, i would be pleassed if we did the following:
Lenglet IN, as a 3rd choice CB behind Romero and a new CB
I would love to see Hojbjerg replaced but may be Sarr deserves that chance, but the long term midfield will be Bentancur/Bisouma/Maddi.
Bissouma will be like a new signing this season
I would still really like to see Gil given a chance and may be he'd suit Angeball more. If not then we sell and get in a RW option.
Saw Gil play in the Europa Cup final. He was the same and ended up getting subbed.
If we got a decent fee, I think it would be best to take it and call it a day. I'm sure Paratici and Ange will have a list of over wingers like Soloman or Jota who are at a more advanced stage and ready for the prem.
