If the board are willing to front the cash, signing Mikey Moore would be bold and sensible all at once. Stick in a proper sell-on clause, give Spurs a right of first refusal if that helps the deal and we’d be making a statement about ambition. It’s a risk, of course, but sometimes you have to back talent and send a message that we’re not shy about spending to improve the squad.


Bring Moore in — if the cash is there

Look, everyone likes a headline signing. If the owners will pay up, doing it the right way matters: structure the contract to protect the club long-term with sell-on terms, and add sensible clauses that don’t hamstring us. I’d rather see a deal that lets us profit if he flourishes than panic fixes that leave us exposed. Beyond the economics, bringing somebody of that profile would lift the dressing room and give the fans something to get excited about. It’s the sort of signing that says we mean business.


Skov Olsen needs another loan and a proper pre-season

Skov Olsen’s never been short of ability. What he has lacked at times is continuity and the right environment to settle. Another loan, with an option to buy, is the sensible route — give him a full pre-season, surround him with teammates who will let him express himself and see what happens. Loans aren’t an admission of defeat; they can be a reset. If he rediscovers his best form, the club can decide in summer with a clear head. If not, we haven’t committed long-term for nothing.


Djiga? I’m not convinced

Plenty of folk seem to rate Djiga, but personally I don’t see what others do. I’m not convinced he’s the answer right now. If the club feel he deserves more time, fine — but only on terms that don’t leave us exposed. An extended loan with an option to buy, similar to the Skov Olsen idea, is how I’d handle it. That keeps the door open without forcing the club into a long-term commitment for a player we aren’t sure will deliver.

In short: go big for Moore if the owners will back it, give Skov Olsen the proper run and environment to rediscover his form, and treat Djiga cautiously unless he proves he’s ready. That approach balances ambition with common sense — and it’s the sort of sensible, pragmatic planning I’d like to see from the board and recruitment team.
