Ed002,
Us fans on this site have our own differing views on the transfer policy of the club.
As you seem to have a close connection to our club I Was just wondering what your take is on the transfer policy and the large number of players that have been brought in and also let go/ will be going.
Thank you in advance.
{Ed002's Note - The advisor to the owners when they first arrived offered poor advice. There is a serious effort to now get everything back on track. Departures will continue at the rate of roughly one a day for the rest of the window which will sort out the numbers rather. There are a lot of discussions going on with other clubs.}

Thank you for your quick response Ed002.
Going forward, do you see future transfer windows being much more quieter for us?
{Ed002's Note - Yes, the club has been buying players for the future. The average age is much lower and the wage bill has come down.}

Thanks Ed. That is reassuring and I'm glad to read future windows will be more quieter.

Apparently the average wage in our squad is now £60k/ week. If true that’s pretty low, but I’m guessing they get bonuses for performance and qualifying for CL.
{Ed014's Note - that mounts up over their 55yr contracts though.

Our recent transfers in the last year have been fine the first batch of Koudibally Sterling and before that under previous ownership Kepa and Lukaku haven't worked out
Not sure yet on Mudryk
Think we will be a force in a year or two as long as we can get a top keeper hope its Jorgenson because it won't be Sanchez,
I have slightly changed my mind always thought a nos 9 was the most important while it would be helpful Now think a quality keeper is the most important.

On Mudryk, there are lots of extenuating circumstances: his relative inexperience in terms of minutes played in his career, the horrific situation in his homeland etc. And if he does fail, it will be no worse than, say, Pepe at Arsenal. It happens.
