There is still more to be done but if we can have a solid season we can position ourselves well for next summer when we have to pay for Röhl and decide on Grealish before we look to tackle RB, DM and a true lead striker (to compete with Barry).
Before looking to strengthen further next summer we will need to extend Tarkowski, Garner and Mykolenko who are entering the final year of their contracts (and Keane option decision, Coleman).
Next summer (if not earlier) we will also have to decide on Pickford, Alcaraz, Iroegbunam, Beto. There is still some work to do before the foundations are solid but we are definitely in a better position than we were and should have the resources to do what we need to do.

Yes, we’d have all liked the right back, but we always knew this was a 2-3 window fix and yet we’ve done much of the job in just one.
It’s been hard, even from afar, to keep up the enthusiasm in recent years. Fair play to those of you who are there and going through it every week. But for the first time in an incredibly long time, I genuinely feel we’ve turned a corner. Off the field, we’re finally stable and that stadium looks incredible. On the field, there’s signs that we’re starting to put it together - some of our play in the final third against Wolves was just fantastic to watch.
I’ve long been a Moyes disciple so I’m absolutely delighted to have him back at the helm. Nobody I trust more with the club than him. We’ve got incredible stability there in that he’ll never leave us again, and will only go when we’re ready to move on from him.
Delighted for everyone that’s stuck with us over the last decade, whether you’re in L4 (ok, L5 now!) or the other side of the world - really do feel that we’re finally on the edge of some very good times once again.
Couple of weeks to get everyone fit, integrated and ready for Villa. Been shopping for the kids’ kits tonight…long time since I was counting down the days until our next game but can’t wait to sit down with them for the next one
