We don’t know that he’s not making it a priority. He’s said himself the window’s open for almost two more months and that we should expect more movement.
The exciting, progressive football is definitely a positive. But with that defence and keeper, the only way we’re winning games is by scoring 3 or 4, because they’re always good for conceding at least 1 or 2 soft goals.
My point was made in acknowledgement of Miller being replaced, so that’s another signing. I also concede that another centre-forward would be nice, and perhaps a centre-half at a push, but anything more will bloat the squad.
I’ll be content if we don’t sign the extra 2–4 players some are now calling for. The same people complaining about a bloated squad in past seasons are now demanding three players per position.
Longelo looks like a genuine left-back rather than a wing-back, which, if we sign him, strongly suggests we’re sticking with a traditional back four this season. Hurrah.

There are rules and laws in place for good reason. Then there are self-important pricks who go beyond them, make it up as they go, and get it wrong through sheer incompetence.
