Incoming?

[Pedro de la Rosa]

I don't like the last line of that article much.. "But the plan is to bring in the newcomers to supplement the stars already there, not to replace them."

We should be looking to sign players who are better than what we've got. Also, who are these "stars" that we apparently have on our books?

Etheridge, Bamba, Manga, Morrison, Reid, Murphy, Hoilett, NML, Paterson etc. Or, to put it another way, a better squad than the one that got us up.

I swear some people are just negative for the sake of it.

Better squad ? We have got solid options in most areas (as your 9 man list suggests) but midfield and up front needs more than bolstering. We are very short on similar quality in those positions. We still haven’t sorted out a feckin right back ffs.....and don’t say Panic-buy Bacuna because he is not good enough.

We need some decent signings unless our plan is to finish mid-table.

Our squad is basically the same as it was two years ago (when we got 91 points and finished second) with the addition of Murphy, Reid, Cunningham, Bacuna. So yes, it is obviously better. Gunnarsson has gone but he missed half of the last Championship season anyway with injury. We will be further strengthening in the next few weeks as well. Your glass is obviously three quarters empty most of the time.
