What's the strategy here? Roll out the red carpet for opposition teams to start the transfer ball rolling early? Drop massive hints to the players we expect them to go? Why comment about this at all? If these 4 left and despite the fact JD might leave too, how would the ticket prices be justified? And where has this financial crisis come from all of a sudden? We can't afford to keep the players we have, never mind sign new ones? Where is all the money going then?
