I agree.
Rather than signing new players, new contracts for Trossard, Bissouma, Maupay and Mac Allister are more of a priority ( if they are prepared to sign ).
However, if the club do not sign anyone and then drop down the league then there will be a mighty big stick available for some to...

I would like some of Bissouma, Trossard, Mac Allister and Maupay to be signed up for longer deals.
