I'm happy with the squad as well for now

I think it's good enough to stay up, but if we really want to become established in the Prem we need to be able to attract good overseas players.

The concern is that the club has consistently failed to close out the signing of such targets in the last couple of years. Perhaps we need to consider a change of approach.

The only two we managed to sign (Fer and RvW) were slightly strange situations. Fer had failed a medical at Everton and was running out of options, while RvW was pushed out of the door by Sporting because they needed the money urgently.
