I reckon there’s another £50m
Those free / loan players are still being paid a fortune and should be capable of being coached into a team that can do the basics. Pass, move, shoot etc.
You say they’re a motley crew of footballers. But Southampton, Ipswich, Leicester at least look like they can do the basics. We haven’t for years now.
I really think this is the year we drop unless many changes are made and very soon. Previous Message
Pickford bought by Koeman cost £30m
Young brought in by Dyche. Free
Tarkowski brought in by Lampard. Free.
Branthwaite bought by Silva £1m
Mikolenko bought by Benitez £15m
Gueye brought in by Lampard. Free.
Mangala brought in by Dyche. Loan
Lindstrom brought in by Dyche. Loan.
DCL bought by ? £1.5m
Ndiaye bought by Dyche. £17m.
Given that some of our better players were unavailable to him yesterday. Garner (£15m), Tim (£10m) and McNeill (£15m)
Dyche has had little or no money to spend and has to try and play expansive football with this motley crew of footballers.
For comparison, Forest spent £142m last season and £84m this season.
Newcastle spent £ 148m last season and £68m this season.

2 teams with generally pretty average players
But both well coached. Enjoyable to watch. Passing football and very little hoof and hope.
Yes they’ve both spent but generally not expensive players.
Compare to our shambles which usually looks like a poor pub team. I can’t wait for Dyche to go.
