      We would need sales to balance the books a little, and to get rid of deadweight. Only then could I see us taking a serious look signing someone.

      I pulled the updated squad up in FM to fool around with formations and the various first team selections and I was shocked at the size of the squad. Completely forgot Cedric even existed 🙃.

          We have spent upwards of 500m in the past few years to revitalize the squad and we have gone from a good team that occasionally drops points to a great team who rarely drops points. Barely anyone had us in the top 4 race last year and yet we were in first place for a majority of the season.

          We have improved almost every area of our team, but the reality is we are not PSG, City or Chelsea. We can’t afford to have world class players warming the bench, nor would they want to. From what I have seen Holding, Nketiah, and Elneny may not be the best players, but they have the right character, and character is not something you can teach, nor is it easily changed. I’ll take players with the right character over the divas/mercenary types all day.

    Hoping we sell enough players to maybe get one more big player in, just not sure who that would be.
