I’m not getting the ‘depressing’ vibe from Tanswell’s article, or the transfer window in general.
We’re intent on keeping Rogers and we’re in a strong position to do so. McGinn, Buendia & Watkins have all looked better than ever as the season ended. The first XI is fantastic. The wage bill has dropped massively with little effect on overall contribution. Income is about to rise massively thanks to CL qualification. Lindelof (in two positions) & Bizot have proven themselves more than adequate deputies. It’s all rainbows and lollipops for me.
I'm the same. Yes, we can spend with impunity (but who can, really?). Even the idea of losing our best player for £100m feels VERY different to the last time it happened. I absolutely don't want it to happen, and hope it doesn't, but if it does, we're in a much better position to use that money than we were when Jack was here. We're in the Champions League, we have an elite manager, a European trophy, and a team that is capable of beating absolutely anyone on its day. If he goes, we won't be replacing him with whoever is today's equivalent of Danny Ings.
I hope we can add two or three quality players, that also bring the average age down a bit, but there is no doom and gloom from this side of the keyboard.
