Declan Rice will take a big chunk of their budget if they went for him, whose to say West Ham would accept with the lack of money the rags put upfront on their transfers these days.
Their football administration on player contracts has been negligent allowing that many players to be out of contract or able to leave in one window. I imagine the capability of the squad that Ten Hag will have when the window shuts will be a lot worse than the squad that finished the season a few weeks back. What player worth his salt would go there seeing how far back they are? They will have to promote from the youth team to cover the turn over and hope they get lucky with them.
