I share all of those concerns in the same way that I thought we wouldn't get Ndombele out and nobody would want Dele. There was a pretty ruthless edge to this window though.Spot on regarding getting players out. Given the financial state of most clubs, we did well to find loans quite frankly.
The tricky part comes in summer when we need buyers, otherwise it’s more loans and contracts/achievable fees dwindling.
My other concern for summer is this apparent focus on players out of/nearing end of contract.
Yes we save on fees but wages being demanded will be sky high & that’s not usually our style. Loads of other clubs will be trying the same tactic so we’ll need to be paying well.
If we’re still saddled with a few unwanted high earners, I fear our budget won’t stretch. Hope I’m wrong.
