“We will have to run a difficult summer in terms of transfer market but we have a great academy,” said Radrizzani.
I feel uneasy about this, I dont advocate spend spend spend, but we must continue to invest in the squad as although we have promising youth you still need to blend it with experience and real quality, and its the real qaulity we dont have and which costs significant money. I have great faith in MB, and his ability to bring through younger players, but if its true that he has said he has taken the current squad as far as is possible then he needs to backed to bring in those 1, 2, or 3 players who can provide that qaulity to get us over the line, without that I really fear our most prized asset may go.
Radz may not be richest owner but it does annoy me that other clubs, without our fan base/tv money (not much considering how often we are on tv I know)/merchandise sales etc & even those who do not benefit from parachute payments can spend significant money on transfers yet we, who should on the face of it be better offf than them, cant seem to have a decent transfer war chest.
