Funds possibly topped up if an unexpectedly satisfying bid comes in for one of Ox or Keita.
Centre-back already acquired, midfielder, forward.
Any other business being small-fry financially, to do something like back up the goalie spot while Kelleher is on loan to supplement Adrian, or to get a right-back in on loan to back up Trent as he eases back to his best post-injury.
Would be my best guess.
2 CMs Sid, Gini replacement and an attacking mid, what we have in that department aren't good enough or fit often enough, Hendo and Fab have both had medium terms injuries in the last 2 seasons, so a Gini replacement who can also operate at DM is absolutely essential, attacking mid is an absolutely must also, we've never got that signing right, Ox is now always injured and was very good his first season for how we played then, but the team and other players have evolved a hell of a lot since then, he simply isn't good enough anymore, not the required level, Shaq, Minamino and Keita never have been, Keita's never fit and he has only EVER played well in a midfield consisting of him Hendo and Gini and Gini's now gone, need to bin off the failures and mistakes at attacking mid and move forward, you want to be on top and stay on top, there's no place for sentimentality
