We were actually the biggest net spenders this summer because we failed to sell anyone of note and there lies a big problem that’s been around for a while.
Players that could be easily replaced by u21 and free up non HG spots like Chiesa and Endo are still here. MacAllister who has less than 2 years on his contract and next summer his value will be low and he’s probably already on contact about a free move.
We have for s long time put players on higher wages than their talent deserves and then struggle to move them on as no one can match their wage requirements. Chiesa being a good example.
Whilst the transfer window is judged on who you buy, we were restricted because of the non HG spot issue, so our failure is in who we didn’t sell. The only senior squad player we sold was Jones who of course didn’t take a non HG spot.
