All if's and buts, but what I do know is we had a seriously strong team for the 3rd tier of English football. Add to those six Greer, Calderon, Kishishev & Lua Lua and it's not suprising we bossed that division whilst also putting two Championship sides to the sword in the FA cup.

...now at sides currently in the Premiership.

Barnes
Murray
Bennett
Bridcutt
Noone
Wood.

How much stronger, if at all, would we be had they all stayed?

THink you will find Barnes and Wood are currently in Championship sides. Seasons not over yet, and still have games to complete in the championship. If either make their clubs squads next season, you will have a point. By your logic, Noone, Bennett and maybe Bridcutt are championship players? That leaves Glenn Murray. Great player, but not really half a side is he!!

If we'd had 2 of Murray, Barnes and Wood over the last few months we'd be sitting happily in the playoffs now.

I sometimes wonder that as well.

Make a point great, but its a bit loaded when you claim players are in the premiership when they are not, yet at the same time count players that are in the premiership when they are likely to be replaced by the others.

To answer your point, not very is my guess. Murray, Wood and Barnes would not fit in all the time we play Ulloa as a lone striker, Bennett would make us stronger, Noone struggled to get a game in front of what we had here, and Bridcutt didnt want to stay and has been replaced by Andrews and Ince, more than adequately, even though Andrews is fast becoming the new marmite man.

THat's presuming Oscar would play two up front, and that's never going to happen all the time he's here. He'd much rather bore us all to death.
