@myf - You are kidding right? I'll be happy for a nice gentle mid table stroll thanks very much. Baby steps I believe should be our new mantra, not Be Prepared.@Can Bent Be Bettered - The "cast offs" might be the supplements to the team we require in terms of experience. It's no coincidence that when Vlaar came back into the team we looked more solid (not rock solid though) and when Gabby came back in we looked, dare I say, more cultured going forward. Experience does count for something.I agree that youth should be the way forward, and the guys will take huge confidence from the fact that they've kept us in the league. I'd like to think that we don't want to follow the Wigan route of doing the same things every year and expecting different results. Look where that got them this year. Realistically, anyone talking about big name Charlies and cup wins for next season, is having a laugh. We're not at that stage yet...we're at the stage where we need to build slowly. With that in mind we NEED to supplement what we have with a few more solid Premier League players in my opinion.We reached the semi-final of one cup this season, so why not?
