If you look at Diomande and possibly Cortes, I think that’s the type of player we’ll be targeting - young, talented guys we can develop then sell for a profit, possibly on similar loan to buy deals.Harsh reality is we aren’t going to have anywhere near the funds we’ve had over the last two summer windows.
Not only is the squad less valuable but income from Europe is probably down a few million as well.
It’s going to have to be a completely flawless window from us and a very poor one from them to even compete for the title next season.
Easier said than done of course, and being realistic you’ll only get so much talent for the relatively modest sums we can afford, but it probably is the blueprint a team in our situation needs to be following.
Trouble with that is a team full of young players probably isn’t going to win you the title straight away and we all know by now that you’re never going to get time to build a side over three or four seasons at Ibrox.
The feeling is therefore that some, if not all of our ‘senior’ players will be retained to provide the balance and continuity needed.
Which sounds good in theory, far less so when the senior players we’re talking about have habitually let down every manager they’ve played under at the club.
