We must have a very small transfer kitty if our incomings are dependent on the sale of Dawson and Sigurdsson.
Not entirely surprising I suppose but it's clear that people are going to have to be realistic about how much transfer activity we'll see this Summer.
As for the Vertonghen ITK I really hope that's right. Whilst he wasn't great last season, he's clearly a class act and if we can get him and Lloris to sign new contracts that's a very good sign that the players already have confident in what Poch wants to do.
Generally I think this window is going to be about getting the best out of our existing players, rather than bringing in boat loads of new players...and personally I think that's no bad thing.
More likely to be that Levy would like to keep a relatively balanced wage bill. No point in paying players who aren't playing regularly! Last thing we want/need is a bloated squad and then to potentially have a couple of players start moaning about not being picked.
I sort of see Dawson's point in not wanting to leave. After all, AVB wanted rid and he dug his heels in to prove a point and for a while it worked.
However, we must have set a PL record for defensive individual errors resulting in goals and that's what needs patching up asap.
