Obviously as a fan, I'd like us to strengthen and get better players in, but if we don't manage to get anyone else over the line, big deal. If Ole really is in for the long haul, so what? There's Jan, next summer, and every single transfer window thereafter. There's absolutely no realistic chance we would compete for anything beyond top 4 this season anyway, and I think we should keep our expectations in check.
If Ole is given the time to build, build he will, but Rome wasn't built in a day! There are real positives to not signing anyone else, namely the young lads getting games, and some pride being injected back into the club.
The signings we have already made are brilliant, and if thats a sign of things to come, I am willing to be patient and not have a meltdown.
I am quite proud of the club for not bowing to Dybala's demands, and questioning his intentions/desire. To me it show's we are going in the right direction!
If we do strengthen further, bonus...but I completely trust in this apparent change in approach to transfers.
