But the question is, Champs, do you WANT to start the season with 6 to 7 new players in the team?
If we do get 4/5 new players and 2/3 loan players, as you suggest, they presumably won't be signed as bench-warmers.
If we add Nyambe to the squad from our last game, with Antonsson and Conway perhaps gone, but factor in all the new players you mention, plus our better U-23s, what on earth will the starting XI be?
Ward, Feeney and Caddis will no doubt leave, but who would you definitely reject from our basic 20 of this season?
Antonsson, Samuel, Conway, Whittingham and Evans seem to be the most popular candidates, but that still leaves a really big group - especially if we get hold of Armstrong and Chapman.
I'd still favour a bit more caution, in order to retain a sense of unity.
