Looks like it’s already happening. A few squad players and maybe 1 or 2 big (ish) signings at best this summer 

You know what I’m fine with that. 
if we were able to get Barkley, Hermoso and say Rabiot for free then 2 big signings to improve on the 11 then I’d be stoked. Improve on sustainability and gain more funds for next year, stay in the top 5 and good run in CL then attack the market with full force next year

Defence does need a major overhaul, to be fair.

Being linked with left backs, centre backs and right backs.  Something tells me Unai isn't happy with our defence 

Why would you say that?

Defensive midfielder is a major area we need to strengthen as i feel this one of the major reasons our defence struggled when kamara got injured

Tbf we've leaked a lot in the latter half of the season. I can't believe they're not coached well enough. So I can see why. It might be the difference with being in a title challenge or not. Or a cup win.

None of us are happy with the defence atm

Because we ship goals for fun and can't defend set pieces.

I was taking the Mickey brother 

I totally agree, DM, RCB and a RB.

lets face it Kosta is a project, Cash is not upto it and Konsa is better central. Ned to find a solid RB.

we don’t what Mings will come back like, Carlos is a liability so Ronald makes sense. DM is crucial it relieves pressure off the back 4 and allows us to play our possession based game. We’re a totally different machine when we’re able to attack while having long periods of possession ( City home game).

clear up these issues and we’re humming. Could use an extra attacking playing but it’s not a necessity and we’re stacked if we keep all our players and welcome back those from long term injuries.

I don't see us laying out any big money transfers fee's.

No mate, you gave a theory on the internet that has no place in reality - sorry.

I listed the book value and amortisation of the players each year that I considered to be fringe.... the figures might be SLIGHTLY out but not drastically. That is reality

Blimey how does £50m magically turn into £250m. I assume you are not an accountant 

he means you can spend that in year one if all the players you sign are on 5 year deals, how the person proposes to pay the amortisation for the other 4 years..... I have no clue.

Depends on 'big' I think. For one, PSR will I think mean overall prices are down a bit from previous seasons. I doubt we'll smash our transfer record but still expect we'll bring in 1 or 2 in the 30+m range.

That left sided forward might be worth a punt for a newly promoted team.
