So if we look at how we finished last season are we better off now. I know it's early days but first impressions......
GOALKEEPERS
Lost- Kuschack, Breznovan
Gained - Stockdale
Verdict - Stockdales distribution could be crucial in Sami's system so gain for me.
DEFENDERS
Lost - Ward, Upson
Gained - Bennett, Hughes
Verdict - I think Upson has the edge on Hughes but in Sami's system Bennett could be a better fit than Ward. Level
MIDFEILDERS
Lost - Lopez, Orlandi, Buckley, Andrews
Gained - Gardner, Holla, Tex, Toko, McCourt
Verdict - We haven't seen too much of Gardner, McCourt or Toko yet, but potentially this looks a huge improvement to me. Gain
STRIKERS
Lost - Ulloa, Rodrigues, Hoskins
Gained. - O Grady, Colunga, Baldock plus CMS is virtually a new player
Verdict - different type of players but real options so definite gain
I still think we need a winger and possibly a centre half. I expect a move for Jordan Ibe on loan to add a different dimension and possibly another centre back. Interesting that Barber mentioned that we had done virtually all of our business before deadline deal, not ALL
