As many are agreeing one of the biggest reasons we are in this predicament (myself included) is due to this summer's transfer strategy, I thought it would be interesting to see 'what we could have done' now we are all sat here in hindsight.
I've estimated our outgoings to be circa £63m this Summer (within roundings as they're all undisclosed) and I've included the retained players as well:
Ramsdale - £18m
Bogle - £8m
Lowe - £5m
Burke - £7m
Brewster - £23m
Ampadu - £2m loan fee (complete guess!)
Foderingham - £0
Jagielka -£0
Rodwell - £0
I've listed my hindsight signings, given the performances of the above and the obvious areas of weakness in our team:
Sign again
Bogle £8m
Burke £7m
Sign that we were linked with
Ivan Toney £10m
John Swift £7m
Buendia £20m
Signing suggestions for the other gaps
GK £10m (maybe Raya from Brentford, another Championship Pro, or even the Plymouth rookie)
LCB £5m loan fee - A young, mobile, left footed center half to come in and gain 6 months experience in a novel way of playing.
I'm sure there will be disagreements with valuations and likelihood of capturing at the stated price, but I don't think its a million miles away and that team I feel would be on more than 11 points.
