We don’t HAVE to buy a HG player. As it stands we have 7 not incl Rodon who may be going.We basically have to buy a homegrown player this window, and honestly two would be better. Spence, Gordon, Maddison, and Guehi linked. Homegrown are naturally overpriced, we’re going to have to overpay somewhere.
That’s why I think 20m for Spence, more than we’d want to pay for sure, isn’t that big of a deal considering Guehi would be 40+, Maddison 50+, and Gordon I’d think 35+ unless Everton is truly fucked.

That would mean a max squad of 24 instead of 25. Can use under 21. Parrot. Devine Scarlett or others to supplement this. Not every team has a 25 man squad. The euro squad is a problem but if we have a 22 or 23 man squad we will have to get on with it and use some young players as and when required.
