Does anyone think that this summer of all summers is the window we can afford to be least active in, at least in the sense of trying to buy starting players? With the inevitable shortened pre-season, having a settled side, one I might add which is outstanding based on the last two seasons, must be advantageous to trying to gel a new 1st XI together? I wonder if there’s a chance that we will see an inverted window and that January may see more business than the summer, if there is more economic confidence and certainty regarding the virus by that point? We kept our powder dry last season and money has been spent on infrastructure, perhaps a similar approach over the summer will benefit us in the long run?

To be honest I think 99% of clubs will be in the same boat. If we weren’t to spend and the majority of other clubs were then there would be a reason for concern but it may only be the cash rich clubs that do splash out. From those clubs (in England) it’s only City that I am concerned about at the moment, but the upcoming decision on their CL ban could throw all that into chaos.

We have an incredible squad of players.
The greatest active manager on the planet in my opinion, certainly at improving players.
They will be hurting, a glorious title win to end a 30 year drought in front of their adoring fans has been taken from them so I expect the pain to drive them on to bring it home again, I think we'll be fine signings or not.

I'm with you there swiftykop. Liverpool ucl loss to Madrid drove them to win it the following year. If we get this snatched away I think it'll drive our team on. And I think Henderson will be the best player in the league again next year. He's so good and getting better.
