I share your concerns Eddie, but feel that it was always going to be the case. We need a fresh approach, as these players have failed us so many times in the last few years. As long as we're knocking on the door this season, then I think we're moving in the right direction. We may even be surprised by a couple of signings that excite us come September.

On the subject of outing players, there will always be clubs who fancy them, and see them fitting into their own styles of play. I don't see much problem for the majority, though I wouldn't expect any big figures for them.

Too early to call, and personally, I'd have become incredibly apathetic about the upcoming season if we rolled out with the same players / system again.
