Yet we still offered McAuley and Olsson new deals...

1 year deals. It's not like we're offering them 5 years plus...

They'll make decent squad players and that I hope is the intention behind new 1 year deals. 

The priority has to be our midfield surely over the summer?

You could make a case for offering one of them a new 1 year deal as back up. But both of them being signed up just confirms Pulis' intention to keep playing 4 CB's. 

As for midfield being the priority, I could honestly make a case for us needing 15 in and 15 out in the summer. Years of woeful managerial appointments and short-sighted transfer policies have left us with the oldest and slowest squad in the league. As we won't do anywhere near that amount of business we'll just have to hope we bring in 5 or 6 quality starters and demote the championship-quality dross of Gardner, McClean and Olsson to the bench.

Dawson - New CB - Evans - New LB

Yacob - Fletcher

New RW - New AM - New LW

Rondon

We need to stop signing squad-fillers and back up players... oh and loans because Pulis won't play them.
