I see a lot of names attached with relative premier league experience but ignoring, the fees, wages and age of said editions compared to the current resources and larger squad context.
Call me pessimistic but we just survived by mere threads. We're in such a position for a lot of reasons in regards to mismanagement, but one key variable in overspending, having limited options and generally applying all the above mentioned criteria in too many deals.
I get we want to stay up but the club has to wake up. We need to diversify the player pool, and invest much smaller sums over squad depth then simply position to position replacement of our outbounds with lesser quality. Thats even more paramount with 10 players simply expiring. That could be helpful in the future in re-stabilizing the books but the squad simply put is still a mess.
Talking ourselves into mid to late 20 years olds from relegated sides that will cost north of 20 million is almost a surefire way to place us back in this predicament next year or the year after. Not saying I have it all figured out but we need more value propositions in our recruitment or we are doomed.
