When we finish 4th, it will be great but it i only a CL qualifier. A qualifier where we will be guaranteed to face a great team because we have awful coefficient. The 2nd leg does get played until the very end of August so how do we go about the transfers?
Certain players would only join if they knew they would get CL and leaving it until the last couple days of the window really narrows down the potential signings, especially the ones that can only be made with CL as players of that quality rarely go in the last couple days.
If it was a team like Arsenal they would probably sign the players regardless because they can afford to take the risk as it financially wont impact them much however our transfer will be MASSIVELY effected by the CL money which means we cant take the risk.
How will we go about this. This is a major worry to me. Not signing the quality players before the qualifiers obviously means we have less chance of winning but we similtaniously cant afford to buy that calibre of player until we get through the qualifier. Through in the loss of Barry, Delo, and especially Lukaku and the qualifier becomes very difficult.
It would be gutting if we lost the qualifier. Is anyone else worried about how we go about transfer this summer?
