You have to look at it in the context of the "great rebuild" everyone harps on about
In this window -> Vicario, VDV, Maddison (3 that walk into first team), Solomon, Ashley, Johnson (3 that improve squad depth)
Likely first 11 -> Vicario, Porro/Royal, Romero, VDV, Udogie, Bissouma, Sarr/Bentancur, Son, Richarlison, Kulu/Johnson. 1 Player that played for Poch, 2 players with more than 2 full seasons for club
Even the bench (didn't include Dier/Lloris/Ndombele as they won't make team) -> Forster, Perisic, Solomon, Ashley, Davies, Skipp, Sanchez, Lo Celso. 3 players that played for Poch (and that includes GLC)
20 players, 4 played for Poch, 9 basically playing the first full/starting season
Add in the players out
This isn't about this window, this about a team transformation, and a huge part of that was done, and we will probably need another two windows to complete it.
Most importantly the manager (direct quote) -> insists he will have “final say” on all deals
