They are rebuilding and buying big names is not the solution as it rarely works. The manger Eddie Howe is growing the squad and is a 5 year plan. Look at the results since he took over and they will be in the top 6 this year. Clubs like Man U go for name players and look where that got them. They are cherry picking players who will add value to the squad and depth. Maybe there will be one or two more signings still happening but expect no big names. Next year yes but not now as they are not ready for that.
