Quote ="Poker Face"We have a 'real' squad of 22 this year, with two kids on the fringes Massey and Thompson.
In my opinion we need a 'real' squad of 25 next year, as none of these two young lads (or any others) have burst onto the scene. I would like us to lose 4 of our current 22 and bring 7 in. Crucially though, I think any of the ones we bring in should be good enough to go straight into the matchday 17 and keep the ones that some of us think are 'average' as squad players.
To progress, I can't see the point in replacing fringe players with fringe players.'"
Problem is can we afford the extra wage bill that will involve?
