Looks like he could be getting what feels like a few bonus players into the squad. Couldn't have imagined that 6 weeks ago.
Hope he's not too stubborn going forward with whatever this Mendes thing is. If good players are being offered, he should take them on, not turn his nose up. Don't want another O'Neil type scenario where recruitment became detrimental to the progress of the side.
Having said all that, owning the players and using them properly are very different things. Already a season behind on promotion that should have been comfortable.
If we can find someone for Grealish to pass to, that'll be a big step forward. Woodburn could hopefully be that man.
