I think we could fetch Bale and one more seriously good incoming player and call it good. I don't really want a large squad with loads of gambling in terms of incomings anyway. There are signings to fill holes, and then there are signings that would be out of this world. Filling holes is quite fun, sometimes it even works out. But world class signings, they don't grow on trees, and we should just go for it. I think we finished 3rd without Alderweireld being a big participating part in the campaign nor playing his best when he did play, so worst case scenario, there are loads of average + CBs who can fill the role Alderweireld had (or didn't have) this season. CM I'm worried about, though. Goes without saying.But what happens at CM and CB with Dembele and Toby leaving? £70 mil+ plus huge wages on Bale leaves very little left for quality in other positions.
Carter-Vickers isn't coming through, I think.We’re ok at CB really even if Toby leaves we have Jan, Sanchez, Dier with Foyth and CCV coming through. More than happy with that. Still not convinced Dembele is leaving but if he does then we’ll definitely need another CM. Still think we can do that.
