Quality or Quantity???

In the Summer should Sunlund go for two or three Marquee signings as another huge flow of income arrives in TV revenue?? Perhaps if we cash in on Roefs Brobbey Sadiki then even more money to splash??

Though i am not advocating the sale of any of them, i would offer them improved contracts in the first instance.. However if some rumours prove to be true regarding those three leaving we could make some attractive bids for additions with the kind of money those sales would generate?

Maybe another option is to look for 5 or six more modest investments with potential in order to strengthen the Squad in most positions?? How many positions need cover?? Any names?

But if we sell those three we have to spend decent money just to replace them and stand still. If we want to progress, that means we're looking to add quantity and quality. I'd rather jettison some of the fringe players and bring in better: improve the overall level of the squad, have greater depth, and hopefully have enough to sustain a solid league campaign and a good run in the cups.
 
We don’t really have the places for 5 or 6 unless we sell 3 or 4 first 11 players. Maybe if we get into Europe we will do more squad rotation. 1 or 2 quality signings and maybe 2 or 3 for the future would be my guess.
 
I think the management team (owner/directors/coach) will have learnt from this season (which has been remarkable) they will (I’m sure) strive to improve the playing staff (with sales if required) but strengthen overall with TV and selling revenue 👍

Agree i guess it depends on if we can hold on to the stars of this season player power is areal thing now. I can see a situation where we could be one of the most busy clubs in the transfer market in the summer
 
Isn’t it just nice to sit back and let them do their jobs, all the while having a good feeling they know exactly what they’re doing and will see us right
 
I don't like the word 'marquee', implying as it does an over-priced, well known player who might bring personal baggage, might be overpaid and might spread discord on and off the pitch. Nordi, Alderete and Mr Blobby were certainly not big tent signings.
I am more concerned about the players who may leave, the players on here who some would willingly sell if the price is right. If not in Europe next term, I would settle for one signing, preferably an out and out striker, provided nobody of our first eleven is transferred. That, sadly, is a forlorn hope, especially in this modern game of agents etc.
