The fact they got and convinced Bruno, who by all accounts looks like a ****ng world-beater, says all you need to know about the future. All this "it won't be the revolution people think" is clearly a load of rollocks. Sure, Howe could well caveat that statement by saying "see? I told you we wouldn't sign Mbappe, Haaland and Bellingham" but I think we'll end up with all our Xmas' at once.
My view is this - they will not ever be held ransom for a player, so we won't be paying extravagant fees or exorbitant amounts, a la Man U/Chelsea, for big names. Instead, if we want a player and it's within the value we put on them, we'll buy them. The difference is I don't think we'll be limited, so if all five I mentioned are available and keen at the right prices, we'll buy them all. If more become available for the right price and are keen, we'll keep buying, until the squad feels right. I think we'll end up near £150m spent this Summer. I think once the bug hits, it'll go mad. Jamie Reuben's going to be up for it, we know Staveley is.
