A possible solution?

Gentlemen,

Having read your comments from the last few games and backwards, seen the mentioned issiues myself and discussed the matter with fellow-clarets, there are some facts that we all are aware of. I won't do the whole list..
1. The team is aging
2. The lack of creativity and pace (usually)
3. SDs reluctance to do changes (e.g. subs, tactical-approach etc.)
4. The depth in the squad

The list continues and we all know this because we see it just about every match. This isn't as a thread for critism since it won't do any good or even help other than to air the frustration. One thing we can also agree on is that there won't be any huge changes in the lineup, squad or approach because of reasons we've all discussed a huge number of times.

With the apparently limited budget and access to strengthening the squad, what can be done do make the squad work as good as it can with the available rescourses? We all know that we won't get ten players out and in, along with a massive money-spending in Chelsea or City-style.

So let's take this scenario as an example (which by the way is quite probable). It's 1.st September 2021:

- Mostly the same squad as we have today
- Tarkowski moves on, around £20m
- Three or four signings during the summer (some 1.st team, some reserve)
- Five or more youngsters signed
- Five or more youngsters take the step up from the youth to U18-U23
- Stadiums still with no fans

Give or take a player (or two). Let us be realistic, where else can the team add valuable additions?

Add to the staff?
Passing coach? (We're not excatly tika-taka and a lot of the passing we do is a bit below the par, if I may say so)
Tactical coach? (Would help the understanding and anticipation)
Techical coach? (Overall a good investment)

We're good at defending, maybe a more attacking minded coach?

It might a bit Football Manager-inspired, but at the same time surely expanding the coaching staff must benefit in the short and long term?
