Survival must be the short term strategy. Buy for the longer term when short term objectives achieved. I guess they will want to consolidate and maybe increase capacity?
Agreed. They're going for ready made players with very little shelf life to push for the top this season - Keiffer's 33 this Friday and Coady will be 33 during the season. They're trying to buy instant success rather than building - a particularly American trait. If they don't make it work, they could implode.
They were sniffing around Vardy before they signed Moore. I read somewhere that they had 6 senior strikers on their books. I assume that means 7 now. I also read that many players are on top end wages, suggesting it will be difficult to move unwanted players on. Its an interesting approach.
