We have run at a net zero for a long time now, there must be money in the bank to allow us to push the boat out for one or two players. We don’t need 7 or that, we just need targeted investment. Is paying N’Dombele an extra £20k per week bad if it leads to us actually winning some trophies and increasing our commercial valueThey over-paid, relative to the market. You can argue that they did not over-pay, since they are leading the league - but we would have to take the same approach - and pay what teams are asking, and pay wages that players are asking.
We would also need to sell one of our key players to fund those transactions.
None of those scenarios seem likely right now.
