MM has made a very definite statement that we’ve finished incoming business for the year.

End of then really. Hard to see us getting very far with a squad of free transfers and learners.

The only possibility is that MM can mould them in his own image and get them playing to an exact system he’s devised , and that any such system works of course. He’s done similar tricks before so let’s hope.

We’ll know after a few games but in the worst case scenario we might find out they can’t cut it then we’ll be chasing a relegation battle and potentially losing points week on week with no possible reinforcements until after Christmas.
