Keeping some of our better players from last season has been good business in itself

Missing another striker but good to add the likes of Pritchard to an already decent Championship squad. Don't know enough about Oliveira to say whether I'm happy with him but I'm not hugely disappointed with our business. It'll be sad to see Ruddy go but he has been out of form for a long time now and McGovern seems decent at this level. A lot of fans seem to want us to spend money left, right and centre as if we're made of it. We should have shown more ambition last season when we were in the Prem but we shouldn't be gambling our way back out of the Champs.
