This is what happened to Southampton though a number of years back and now they are paying the price.

True but I suppose just because some clubs might follow the same model it doesn't mean they will all ultimately make the same mistakes and end up failing. Southampton could also turn it around in theory with a good window.

It's equally possible to spend loads, keep all your best players and still bugger it up. Everton popped into my head then for some reason.
 
I see he is highly rated, but do we really need another midfielder??

would replace Evans quite nicely. More defensive than all our others. Potentially harsh on Matete.

Id argue loaning Matete out is best for his development anyway. Even if he is ready now, he needs to be playing.

Surridge just came on for Forest after their main striker went off injured, maybe puts a halt to that potential deal
 
Heard a whisper we're after Ekwah from West Ham. Nothing concrete yet though
Decent player, good holding midfielder. Around 6'2 and has decent pace for the position as well. Scored a few goals for them this season and think he's been captain a few times this year.

I really like Connor Coventry from them as well for the holding midfield role

He hasn't had much involvement so far. but the two occasions he was he showed no better than average, but very little to make a decent judgement.

Couple of good runs from Surridge, held the ball up well on one occasion and should have had a free kick. Put himself about a bit
