Another good addition in Jed Wallace.
I didn't want Bruce to be kept on, but fair play to him for identifying we needed a boost in creativity. In Swift and Wallace, on paper at least, we have added 2 proven goalscorers and creators for nothing.
My worry is that we need 3 or 4 more to be competitive (right back, centre half, defensive midfielder and striker) and although we're clearly willing to spend big on wages, I doubt we have anything left to spend on transfer fees after the Dike move in January. And I'm not sure we can get 3 or 4 more quality additions in the positions we need from loans and frees alone. I'd like to see us buy a right back at least, because Furlong has been dreadful for years now.
I'd also really like to see us go back in for Yokuslu, who was farmed out again on loan by Celta Vigo last season. I think he'd be a Rolls Royce at this level and give the likes of Swift the platform to play. I'm sure he wouldn't command much of a fee as he didn't seem to figure much last year. Also a loan with locked in move if promoted could work.
