So once that's done it should stiffen the spine of the side, leaving the fullbacks spots to be sorted, with the other midfield spot being taken by Petrov, Herd or Gardner. We're looking pretty good going forward, so any combination of Bent, Gabby, Ireland, N'Zogbia, Albrighton and Bannan has goals in it.And we may have those new fullbacks already at the club.So I wouldn't knock 6 new faces, but I think we could vastly improve with less.That's if you think Clark can cut it as a top class CB.

I bet Bent thinks to himself we/I need to score 3 goals to have any chance of winning the game because of our awful defence .
Having Herd back will help out in protecting the back 4. He chases down everything like a dog with two dicks.Next season a young brigade of Herd, Gardner, Clark, Johnson, Bannan and Delph will be competing for places in the midfield. I'd like insurance against Stan not lasting to be honest. He's having a renaissance but how long before he's breathing through his arse again? An experienced midfield general would do nicely.

At the moment I'd settle for a semi-competent centre-back before I start worrying about whether they are 'top class'.
