because its small now, and set to get smaller with the summer releases

Not a comment on our ambition or any such like, or that we need to have a sqaud smaller than otehrs due to X Y or Z.
Simply a statement of fact that its not the biggest, is going to get smaller over the summer.
Once you start from this position, getting it back up to size with full deals means either a hefty outlay on fees, or a lot of free signings.

We'll probably need something like 10 players in for next season, average sign on fee of £500k means a £5m spend on fees alone. Factor in wages etc and that's incredibly unlikely to happen.
