I'll get the usual suspects jumping all over me, but I'd prefer to see the players in the current squad given the opportunity to show what they are capable of in the PL (as they would be the players who got us there, and as its been said elsewhere, this league is THE toughest to get out of), rather than see us hoover up players from the four corners of the globe and become a Sh1tty, or Chelski, with barely a single British player in the squad, never mind the 1st team
I reckon the current squad would get battered by the top 6 and have a reasonable chance against the rest - I agree we should simply stick with this lot and add about 3 class additions - no more.
It might be a risk and we might get relegated but I can't stand the thought of having a team of players no one has ever heard of - kissing the badge then clearing off when a decent offer comes in as per most of the premiership.

Stick with what we have with just a few quality additions for me - assuming of course we get up which I think is far from a certainty yet.
