Signing Rashford and Asensio was amazing and boy did we need it last January. If we manage to keep hold of Ollie, Emi and Ramsey that will be a huge positive, so I get what Toronto is saying. However new signings are always exciting and the right ones can just help tip the balance.

I’d still be hopeful something will happen, albeit it’s in the loan market late on.

Yeah but he’s saying he’d “rather” we did that. Which I dont believe for a second.

I read it as he'd rather keep the core together and then add to it next season rather than sell Emi/JJ/Ollie or whoever to bring in the cash to sign other players. Rather than he'd just prefer we don't do anything full stop.

No I agree, I get the trying to be positive spin, but no chance is anyone is going to be happy with no signings at all and if we sign someone tomorrow he’d be all over it, like the rest of us….unless it’s DCL.

I do slightly worry that this might be a season too far for the group of players we have.  Think there were some signs of it last season and this summer just feels like the time when we need to freshen up things up a bit with a few quality additions. 

That said it is still a decent squad of players and if injuries are kind, it could be another strong season.
