While we all understood there was a need to maintain the basis of our promotion team we realised that perhaps top rate replacements were needed in two or three areas if we were to be competitive in the Premier league.
Four top signings of the right quality should have satisfied us all and we should now be looking forward with confidence to the season start,.
So how are we feeling having made the four signings:-
1. Reem
A great signing , brings us back up to last season's team level.
2. Robinson
Sounds like a good young signing with a future, but will he replace Bryan or just be a bench warmer.
3. Lemina
Could be a n exciting player but unable to command a regular team place last season and difficult to see how
he will replace Cairney or Onomah. Another benchwarmer ?
4. Areola. Is there any cance that he will replace Rodak who was so good last season.
We all identified our critical needs as a new centre back, right back and a goalscorer. We seem to be adding deth rather than quality.
