I think most can agree that the market (especially for strikers) has been extremely unfavorable for at least two seasons now. I would imagine/hope that the club are biding their time and money so that when a Declan Rice-level signing emerges, we can actually throw our financial weight around rather than counting pennies because of PSR pressure.

I mean, this is still a top-3 roster in the PL, maybe a championship roster. Financial prudence makes a lot of sense.
I admit it’s been pretty odd to see things framed as an emergency when I’d definitely say the squad is stronger right now than it was 12 months ago
