100% agree.
But to improve the on-field results, at least three of those four need to be of a better standard than the current starting player in each position.
To achieve THAT will involve more than just the transfer funds we'll raise just by selling Gordon: we'll need to shift Allan, Alli, Gbamin and Gomes as well, just to create enough payroll capacity to pay them. Even if we loan people in rather than buying them, we're either paying wages or paying a loan fee that roughly equates to a year's wages for a mid-tier player.
Allan I think we will be able to sell, he's still highly regarded in Italy. Alli, Gbamin and Gomes will only be loans but they're on around £300k p/w combined... If we can get a third of that total covered that's better than having them on the bench here praying we don't have to bring them on. If we're really lucky maybe we can use Gbamin as part of a player + cash offer for one of our targets.
