I actually think he talks a fair bit of sense in this article. And I'd agree that 4 main signings - who can come in immediately - is a priority. With a fully fit squad, I'd really like to see the following (and yes - I know I've put 5 signings in but I don't actually think he'll buy a new keeper):
-------------------------New GK-----------------------
Iorfa----------New CB----------Hause-----------New LB
-----------------Saiss----------New CM----------------
Costa-------------------Ronan------------------Cavaleiro
-------------------------New CF------------------------------
We could have Burgoyne/Flatt, Marshall, Evans, Price, Bright, Ennis, Graham, Dicko, Bodvarsson, Gibbs-White, Zyro, Mason, Herc and whichever other young lads are on the cusp of the 1st team in reserve. And I still have some home that we haven't seen the last of Prince Oniangue - we've simply not seen him play in his best position. I hope he gets a bit more of a chance.
That's a much better squad but it really is imperative that we get those signings right. I fully agree with him bringing in these young lads and they'll only improve with 1st team experience but they need better players around them.
The likes of Ikeme, Lonergan, Doherty, Coady, Batth, Stearman, Saville, Edwards, Henry, Ebanks-Landell, Gladon really shouldn't have any place here.
He's got one hell of a job ahead of him - personally I don't think we'll go down, I think we'll pick up enough points between now and the end of the season - it shouldn't have come to this of course, and I said something similar a few years ago but I think the club is in much better shape now than it was then - we just need to get some points on the board and then start the rebuild.
