doaflip Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 17 minutes ago, Xela said: Absolutely. We need to push on otherwise we'll lose players next season to bigger clubs. I think we will push on. Maybe aim for top half this season. We could sell again this season and reinvest, gradually improving. My concern is how we can compete FFP wise with teams with larger commercial revenues (we can't). I see us long term developing players, selling them, not always to the so called elite clubs, but making bits of profit and allowing us to spend. Don't get me wrong though I'd love us to go out there and spend big again. That way brings me a lot more joy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully I’m jumping the gun, but questions should be asked if we don’t strengths further. I think the club acknowledge that loosing Grealish will set us back. Going on a spending spree to prove a point imo isn't the style of the current regime. If JWP is moveable I'm sure we will be in for him (although I think so will other clubs). Pape Sarr is an interesting one - seems exactly what we need. But will cost and is only 18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 I can see us spending another £60m to £80m, with the majority of that going on a DM, and an attacking central midfielder. The DM I didn't really think we needed, but Percy has mentioned it a few times, and that journalist that broke the Bailey story, that it seems it's a position we want to strenghten. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless something gives with JWP I don't see it. We are currently about net even. There is no way our owners wear not going to spend a penny this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick76 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 I think if we are serious about Europe we need more quality in this squad because if we settle for what we have in the squad currently it going to be a stretch to get a European place.

Teale's 'tache Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Looking at the Inter squad I feel like the better players are probably out of our reach just now, and the rest are either old and on big wages or young and unproven. We are the ones with money and FFP leeway right now though so you never know! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Other Mat Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 What makes people think we're settled on the current squad? I've seen nothing from the club that indicates we won't be spending further. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel no sympathy, especially for clubs like Barcelona, who was making money hand over fist and decided to waste it on tapping up everyone to get them to move.
