Looks like we’ve signed an almost completely new midfield - Grealish, kdh, alcaraz and dibling
Going to take time for them to learn to play together but there’s a fair amount of talent in there. Not that they’ll all play at once but you can see 3 of 4 starting most games when fit
Suspect we’re now going to be focused on versatile cover across defence, maybe one more defensively oriented mid and an experienced/veteran forward. Probably loans.
