That midfield is as
weak as pish

It is. We need some serious physicality and nastiness in there.

With 4 additions so far, how are we looking at this point?

If we're aiming for about 13th hovering just inside the bottom half with the odd foray into the top half then fine.
Hard to really say for definite though until we know who's in charge.

Weaker than at this point last season, when we still had Nemane, Crowley, and Didzy, with Abbot to join on loan as well. We still haven't replaced Crowley. We're nowhere near to replacing Didzy. Perhaps Norburn can replace Abbott, but he's out until August.

A lot of work to be done.

Palmer was out till august last season and did he come back?

[theadissey]

Take away the effectively throw away nature of Kouhyar signing and add another defender, a creative and technical AM and probs another mid and it's looking good. Not as good as it was but nothing like "the house is burning down and all I've got is this bucket of petrol". Nothing's been spent yet.

75% of him did.

[SwalePie]

75% of him did.

I reckon carrying that heavy captain's arm band around took up some of the other 25%. Hopefully he can be relieved of it this coming season. (IMHO)

21 players...we obviously need another keeper to take us to 22. That does not leave much space unless someone leaves. We're all sitting here waiting for a big signing...I'm not sure one will come. There's no room.

[salmagundi]

Keepers don't count, neither does Iorpenda, so leaves 3 vacancies assuming no one leaves
