Why not?

even if we aren’t, there are similar players like Locatelli who are as good in the same role
I agree, but I highly doubt we are getting locatelli too. Ask yourself, why would those top players leave to come to us, off the back of two 17th place finishes, no europe? We have never been a top club for attracting talent we are at a big low point in that regard. He will have better suitors if he is available.
 

Worldclass! Uuh!

Christian Bale Oooo GIF
 
I want Baleba. Wharton we are not going to get, Bergvall is ironically way ahead of where Scott was at his age yet the same people moaning we didn’t sign him and give him the chance are suggesting we loan out Bergvall… 🤨

A number 10 is a tough decision because if we left things alone we would have Maddison, Gallagher, Kulusevski, Moore and Williams-Barnett available to play there but we don’t know about Kulusevski’s fitness or how Xavi will fare after his recovery. Probably going to be one that’s left late in the window after we’ve seen how Kulusevski is in pre-season I think. I think Moore and Williams-Barnett are going to be capable of making an impact next season.

With the recent news from the Swedish national team, we cannot rely on Kulu comingnback anytime soon.For the time being he should be ruled out of any squad building plans.

Vast majority of players don't really care where teams finish and that they're not in Europe, providing they don't have better suitors they will come if you pay the money, Senesi started negotiating with us even though we were in a relegation battle.

Providing Locatelli doesn't have better suitors then we'd land him, there's a handful of club who can pay more than us and a handful of clubs who actually need a player like him, plus he's 28.

Suspect he'd probably end up staying though, he's Italian and Italian's don't really like leaving Serie A.
 
Not change too many and saying only 10/11 are good enough.

I understand what you are saying but if we have 10-12 (which is what i remember him saying) that he thinks are good enough then we add Robertson, senesi, and 3 top first 11 players that's 15-17 which excludes the usual sub keeper or 2. Then add a couple of youngsters and were not far from where we need to be for a no Europe campaign.

We wont be able to get the perfect squad in 1 summer. 1 or 2 will carry over but be out next window
