It is far too early in the transfer window to draw conclusions. We don’t know what is actually happening.

Speculation is exactly that. It is part of the joy of football, but whether or not it is true is an entirely different matter.

VK is committed to young talent who can be developed. Our academy has not produced much in that area so I expect to see players from other leagues who command far more sensible fees. £100 million + for Declan Rice. Seriously???

Let’s see what happens over the coming weeks before questioning the financial support or otherwise of the owners.
