The longer we can keep a squad of players together, the better our chances

In general.

Obviously it really depends on how good those players are.

If Sainz isn't going to sign a new deal though, then highly likely we get a better price now than in the summer.

And if that means we can keep that squad together for 18 months, with a few additions across this window and the summer, that sounds good to me.

We're not going up this season even if we keep Sainz
