Lingard is [Poor language removed], but Bernard isn’t the answer eitherWeird picking out the only attacking midfielder we’ve got who sometimes scores and assists but ok.

Clearly Paqueta Hernandez, Romagnoli and Donnarumma are all top players.I'm not saying they can't have good players still. Just that they aren't all good. And imo the only decent one right now is Rebic but we don't need a striker.
Mate respectfully if their team had 5 top players starting every week they wouldn't be a mid table side in Italy which is exactly the point I was making to begin with. They're overrated because it is still Milan but unfortunately their recruitment has been quite poor lately and the players just aren't that good.You wrote:

The only one who wouldnt walk into our team (but almost every other team in the league) is Hernandez
FFP will be scrapped if this virus continues. Money is too important in the abomination of the modern game.
Then the targets will be whoever we want without restrictions and with Ancelotti and the new stadium to help attract them.

Similar to what some people think on here. Brands is class with some great recruitment the last two summers, pickfords the least of our worries, digne one of the best lb in the country, holgate should be in the England squad (not that that means much these days), Gomes and Bernard are class, Calvert lewin now suddenly brilliant, Richarlisons worth $100 million, keans showed some good flashes. Yet we’re 12th in a poo leagueMate respectfully if their team had 5 top players starting every week they wouldn't be a mid table side in Italy which is exactly the point I was making to begin with.

Yeah you're right we certainly overrate our players, every fanbase does, but it is weird when we overrate Milan or at a point Norwich's team given we have no reason to.Similar to what some people think on here.

I want to assume the best about our team but the facts are probably closer to we have two top notch players in Digne and Richarlison, a few young players who could still get there like DCL, Kean and Holgate, a couple of others like Gomes and Mina who might be above average and a whole bunch of the rest who are average at absolute best. But when we play even a little well it is hard to not think maybe we are turning a corner.
I'd say Brands first summer was really good. Richarlison, Mina, Digne and Gomes figure to be long term parts of the squad. Zouma not coming back hurt but that isn't something he could have known when doing the loan and that year was worth it. Bernard is fine and on a free certainly not a negative signing even if he isn't ultimately all the way to what we needed. Last summer though is looking tough. Iwobi hasn't quite found his feet, Kean isn't getting time because of DCL's emergence, Sidibe is not quite Zouma and Gbamin is firmly TBD because of the injuries. But on the whole I trust Brands.
You may be right. The key to our defending last year was undoubtedly Idrissa Gueye, but I thought Zouma was alright and I'd say if he was here he would be starting over Holgate and performing at least as well. I'm not saying it's Holgate's fault, but his introduction hasn't exactly stopped us from conceding goals.Zouma is absolute underpants and would’ve meant no Holgate.

Fun fact: We conceded the same number of goals the entirety of last year as we have this year so far.We were pissing goals in for fun with Zouma in the side for 3/4’s of last season.
