I'm just thinking about the current climate and post-covid. Timo Werner has just gone to Chelsea for under £50m - that's an absolute steal BTW. Clubs are now going to be selling their players for a lot less than they would've been worth in January or last summer.
So, do we have an opportunity to pick up some absolute bargains?
There's talk of all the big clubs cutting their cloth due to their outgoings, potential drop in TV money etc. but we're relatively new at the top table so would've been shopping in the £15m-£20m market. All of a sudden, we may see >£30m players being sold for that sort of money.
We could also see a knock on in that we too have lost out, or will lose out on the TV money aswell, but this is the first season we've really ramped up spending so we're not as fragile as say Burnley or Bournemouth etc.
Given the excellent recruitment team we have, i'm fairly confident that we may see some big signings coming our way in the close-season.
Do i need to stop boozing or is this genuinely a time where we should be attacking the top 6 for the long-term?
