Could be a case of we have to sell to buy.

Well then we'd be fucked. We'd only get decent money for Grealish, Mings, McGinn or Luiz and only really Grealish would fetch a huge sum enough to invest in multiple players. The team as it is is in for another huge season long relegation fight.

I can't see money being an issue to our owners. Multi billionaires. They are rumoured to be backing DS with £100m for recruitment. We do need to get a move on now though.

Our squad isn't that small in numbers, we have two senior players for each position bar striker.

Difference is we don't pad our bench out with youth players. Burnley had a few injuries in the run in and they had 5-6 on the bench who were under 20 and never played for the club.

I assume this season we'll see Louie Barry and perhaps Jacob Ramsey on the bench at some stage if they do well out on loan.

With one of the smallest squads in the league, we are now one of just 4 clubs to have not made a senior signing.

Really, I’d struggle to name four that have?!

Louie Barry's still very young, think it'll be at least another season before he's anywhere near the bench.

I don't think it matters too much that we haven't signed anybody yet. The important thing is to get who they want.

Guess it depends how good he is / they think he is.

He's older than Bellingham for example.

With a brand new recruitment team and the players just returning from holiday it’s not surprising we have not signed any one yet.
Expect an announcement next week.

Philip Billing is a bit no for me. Niggly bastard but in the annoying way not in the ''I'd love to have him on my side''. Relegated two seasons on the trot, losing mentality? I know his size is a plus but he looked very up and down performance wise the few times I saw him.

But you might find that you get what you need.
