How long will the rebuild take?

[Jim Tolmie's Underpants]

I’ve no idea how we play anymore

Badly.

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

The current squad is still good enough for Top 4/5 (which might be enough for a Champions League spot this year)

It's nowhere near good enough, it's pretty delusional even thinking that.

The only chance we have is doing some top business in January, then we can reassess where we might finish.

There’s more chance of me dating and entering in a serious relationship with Margot Robbie than us doing serious transfer buisness in January.

Hard to say , if we continue on our transfer policy of recent times then a fair bit longer than those in days gone by when we bought 3-4 real quality in one window.

One thing I do know is that many of yesterdays starters are not good enough anymore or into the future to have a future at the club providing we can off load them in the summer.

Its obvious also our squad numbers are too light so we may have to go down the Chelsea route albeit on a smaller scale.

20 -22 players won't cut it anymore if we ar not bringing in youth from the lower ranks.

Get the charges dropped then we can really spend money without any repercussions

We could get it done in a window, two max if we're efficient.

Some quality wide players (wing and fullback) will go a long way to rectifying.

Yes that issue is still live and I have assumed that all will be well on that front and we can move forward with some degree of certainty.

if not then of course some targets will have second thoughts about joining us but I know we are not going away and despite the collapse in form and results this season the cartel know this as well.

In order to rebuild, we need to let go of old, burned-out players, but can Pep say that to the players who have shared the good times and the bad?

 

[blueabdi]

There are no superstars or good players in the market. Thats my concern.

Imagine we sign a dud in summer

It's not difficult to imagine.

Just look at the last 3 or 4 transfer windows if you want to see what signing mediocre players looks like.
