I am not convinced the stadium is the reason we didn’t buy.
We have a high quality squad and improving it involves buying players the elite clubs want.
There is a reason many of our purchases of players in their prime don’t work out, it is because they have less quality than those our rivals are buying.
So the plan of buying younger players and developing makes a lot of sense.
We currently have competition for every position except up front. Son has played well there when called upon.
So I am not worried about no signings. We have the highest quality squad in my lifetime.
This is an opportunity for players to step up knowing we are not going to simply replace them at the first opportunity.
