I think would be very smart to try to get 1-2 of promising championship players in while also working on bigger profiles like Carlos/Botman. Unless they are suddenly also +40m priced.
It’s just silly speculation but I have the feeling like we need 4 new players, improve 4 positions, to have a good chance of staying up. And we are 100% relegated as the squad is now.
Maybe VDB is afraid of being benched for Longstaff.
I have to admit I was really naive. Never thought we would only have strengthened one position(RB) by middle of January with the new owners. Not saying I was expecting world class players signing but something more than we have got.
