I can’t imagine there will be much activity until until after the tournament

Not everyone we're targeting will be at the tournament and if they're not there's no reason signing can't get done. I don't see it as a huge issue.

Pretty much why I am still on the fence about Howe staying for next season. I still can't see how buying young technical players will fit into the system he's used for the past couple of years. He'll have to change how we play, or buy better versions of Elangas/Wissas etc.

 

But who knows. Maybe he's already planning on revamping our style next season and he is confident he can work with different type of forwards. I guess we'll find out. 

Lots of good players are technical and have physical attributes. I keep using the Rayan lad compared to Elanga.  
 

Bruno plays for us - he’s the main ball progressor for Brazil NT. Hall flourishes. Relatively great players would struggle under Howe.

Has Bruno changed his game since he joined? I'm sure he plays the percentages and looks to buy more fouls now than in his early days. 

 

The argument isn't that physical and technical attributes can not be in the same player, but rather the manager puts greater emphasis on the physical and in their system than allowing the technical attributes to shine.

 

Pep was criticised for this with the likes of Grealish and Howe is cut from a similar cloth
