Its reassuring we are doing it quickly and appear to have a plan

I actually think we could be a real handful next season if we get this appointment right.

The front 6 is very decent and no matter what anyone thinks we won't lose more than 1 or 2 of them. If we can make a shrewd signing or two to replace them and rebuild the defence (including the mythical CDM) then i'm quite enthused at the prospect. Surely at least one of these young centre backs who have been out on loan will come through. Hills and Adegboyega the most likely based on what i have seen.
