Looking at the squad based on which footballers will be under contract next year; according to transfermarkt, and I am filled with dread. I see a total of 4 names that you can rely on for a solid performance match to match.

Does anybody have any good news to help alleviate some concern?

Weggy is fine, as long hes not the only Forward we bring in.

And its a loan not a purchase.

To be fair I’ve watched a lot of United this season because my mate supports them, and he’s an absolute crab - so at least he’ll fit in well if we sign him

Ten Hag was using him as a #10 in some instances, the crazy Dutchman. I’d be fine with him as a backup if he’s cheap. I just suspect the wouldn’t be.

The problem with actually buying him means we have to give him a contract, these are the players we don't want to be heading to BMD with..

Mate he scored 2 goals for the Dutch team vs Argentina in the last World Cup.
I am not in the know about him but it seems the United move was punching above his weight. I think he could fit with us with the way we play. But maybe the German/Turkish league is more his level. Also not sure if he could play with DCL too similar

I don't think you'd have to worry abut your last point to much...

i would look at his whole career, like you did with Richarlison.

Not what I did. I compared premier league careers and international careers for both. Nothing more, nothing less.

No, he's not.

Fair enough. I just want to make it to BMD actually still in the premier league. He’s better than Maupay as a backup striker. Not advocating we sign him, but that’s such an incredibly low bar.

I think for once we are going to have to make incredible use of our loan system.
If we can't spend then it's all about survival, ( but not to a point of the last couple of seasons )

We can than finally enter BMD with even more 'Trash' off our books and we will finally start looking like we're able to start afresh again.

A new Stadium, A Fresh Start !! That's what we're all dreaming of... Just need to get the right people in the right places aswell.

The last time we were effective with the loan market we brought in Lukaku, Deulofeu, and Barry. Let’s do that again.

I think we are lucky in that there are some quite poor or rather small clubs in the Premier league next season comparing to other seasons. I think if we just improve 5-10% which is what can be expected on our budget. We should finish above the likes of Burnley, Sheffield utd, Bournemouth, Nottingham Forest and Luton.

I mean look at them 5 reams and consider their budgets even compared to us in the financial mess we found ourselves in. I think if Dyche is given a fair crack he could have us middle to lower mid table.
