I can't help think helping thinking that there has been no real attempt to strengthen the squad this window (again) due to issues either with FFP, Building the new stand or issues between the owners.
In Pardew's last window, there was plenty of strong rumours about players, like Townsend, Tomkin and Benteke, that came good, with FDB the talk was all about Sakho (although fairly obvious) which came good, but last summer and this virtually nothing.
I can't help thinking that there no real plan to invest in new players this summer, that the sale of AWB was rather convenient for the board, and they are pinning their hopes on retaining Zaha, but he would go without much reinvestment if they got near-ish to the £80m.
Of course the Board might also expect Roy to play guys like Riedewald, Meyer, Sorloth a lot more, and even Jach might be expected to make a showing, with a few more of the youngsters like Dreher, Woods and perhaps Kirby making a show
We'll probably pick up a couple of last minute 'bargains', to top up the squad but not go straight into the side, so looks like the plan is to keep just above the relegation spots, because money is required elsewhere
