Makes sense because you had an overall better starting XI than we did. Having Zabaleta and Byram fighting for the RB position, Adrián and Hart for GK, and with Snodgrass turning out to be not so great for us Arnautović is a good signing because I believe we're better than Stoke are and he'll show his good side more than his bad. We needed good competition for places, not squad players, and that's what we've signed so far. If you compare our signings to last Summer, it's a huuuuuge improvement. Looking at other teams outside the Top 7, no one is really making any big or impressive moves. There are a couple of good ones here and there (I'd have like for us to have gotten Harry Maguire who's gone to Leicester) but generally it looks like a lot of clubs are sitting around doing nothing.
Fonte should be a rotation option and nothing more.
