It has been a very busy transfer window in West Yorkshire with seven arrivals so far, £95million spent and the sale of the club’s two big-money assets. Jesse Marsch and Victor Orta have been quick to show they have learned from the mistakes of last season, adding depth to a skeleton-thin squad and strengthening vulnerable areas.
Those arrivals were funded by the sales of Kalvin Phillips and Raphinha, who left for Manchester City and Barcelona respectively and brought in £100million. But there is still plenty to do in terms of both signings and sales.
As is natural with any summer of improvement, those on the fringes of the first-team squad will be pushed further down the pecking order. Jesse Marsch has had countless decisions to make on the likes of Charlie Cresswell, Jamie Shackleton and Crysencio Summerville as he attempts to trim the fat of the squad without making it unhealthily thin.
