Too many people on here think we are...

able to sign Premiership quality players, but that was never going to happen. The likelyhood is that we'll end up with a mixture of solid Championship players and unproven players from the Prem or from the lower leagues and maybe one 'star' signing.

Compared to the Championship winning squad, I think we are better equipped now than we were then and I think we have yet to see the better quality signings come in.
