This season should be used as the bench mark for the next decade. We can’t have a one season wonder.
We will need to add some quality world class additions to really cement a much stronger team than our rivals and improve our depth.
No doubt Chelsea, Man Utd and City will go out and add a few quality additions. We need to match them so we don’t fall behind again.
This season has been great but we need to repeat it year after year.
Liverpool have a lot of work to do I feel and will take a few seasons to get back to where they were.
Newcastle is interesting- not sure how they will go.
Tottenham- Can’t see much changing for them. Kane could be off, Son isn’t getting any younger and Lloris is finished.
2 x CMs (Caicedo + another) Rice is over-rated
1 x quality winger (Sane)
2x CBs
1x RB
This is realistically what is needed to improve our depth.
Well beyond £250 million there.
Need to be competing for the long term

I don’t expect us too. Maybe get a few in the summer and add another few in January. Big ask to spend that amount which I can’t see is doing. I’m not sure what our highest spend has been in one season but I’m sure it’s been over the recent seasons

Adding 6 players to a squad that will already be over the allowed 25 isn't happening - unless they are mainly U21s.
We are in a position where our squad is so bloated that we have to sell to buy - and that does not include players out on loan who will all have to be sold as well.

shift a few more players for good money like Iwobi and willock.
get a few bob for ESR, Balogun etc? take a big hit on Pepe but might get few bob for him back too.

It isn't a money thing, it is a number thing.
Selling ESR would be bad business, he is quality. Just needs fitness.
