Bit quiet on the transfer front isn't it? Reckon we're in a holding pattern now.

Only going to replace departures:

GK: Ruddy; Rudd; Matthews
RB: Whittaker; E Bennett
LB: Olsson; Garrido
CB: R Martin; R Bennett; M Turner; A Gafaiti
RM: N Redmond; Josh Murphy; Josh Murphy
LM: A Pilkington; A Surman
CM: J Howson; A Tettey; B Johnson; L Fer
Diamond-shaped Pegs: Hoolahan
FW: G Hooper; K Lafferty; L Grabban; R v WW

25-man squad, Get rid of the three Bs, replace RvWW and Fer if we get a good offer. Think we could do with a proper backup right back and have EB in midfield if we let the least-used Murphy out on loan, although I guess we'd switch Martin out there in an injury crisis, in which case we look light at CB. Be tempted to buy a Carlo Nash at most. A professional who can relied on to train well and is not going to get frustrated by a lack of playing time.

Think we've got a lot of attacking players who can mix it up, but we look a tad thin in midfield given the amount of minutes that I'd expect Howson and Tettey to log.

I'm really excited by that squad, I think we should just replace outgoings with some young up-and-comers rather than creating log-jams all over the place by signing players in their prime.
