I think it is an interesting question but the premise that none of the other top teams will sign anyone is flawed.
Last season was great but it was very much a question of papering over the cracks and Pep and co deserve enormous credit for how successful we were with so many of our forwards either unfit or completely out of form. Our goalscoring output was well down on previous seasons.
We could not expect Gundo to match his goalscoring exploits of last year but surely Raheem and Jesus would play better and Torres may be ready for a bigger role.
If all our players stayed fit and in form I would fancy us to win the league again but that is unlikely to happen. Some reinforcements are necessary but they would not necessarily need to be club record signings. It would be great to get more youngsters in but I feel that it would be too early for the likes of Cole, Delap and Lavia to play big parts in the season although hopefully they will all get some time with the first team.
