I am actually fully behind what the club has done in this transfer window.
If we had managed to keep in the top half to this point I sense there may have been a different approach, but they knew/know we are going to be in this division next season. What would be the point in breaking the bank to keep Wells or to have Leistner warm the bench trying to have a fantasy top 6 push, when we are going to finish between 13th and 19th regardless?
So it makes sense to save up as much money as we can, get through the rest of this season with a tight squad and just make do. We can then bring in players we actually want in the summer, without a panic and see where we go next season.
If we get a big injury to BOS or Eze or Hugill we still have players who can do an ok job in those positions. It is a shame our promising start to the season ended up with this season being written off with 17 games to go, but we are where we are and the decisions the club has made make sense to me.
I just hope next season is a really good one to compensate and to justify the stance the club have taken now.
