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.

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

That's how I feel as well about our slow squad - and why I'd mentioned in a previous thread a while back that our successes before were based on mostly kick and rush football. We've had years of bog standard transfer windows that haven't addressed the problem. Nowt wrong with fast counter attacking kick and rush either. For the most part it has probably won Leicester the title this year.

Previous seasons we had Long running his knackers off making something out of a punt up the pitch and most times he did hold it up and bring us up the pitch. No coincidence we're missing him in the squad now. Similarly Odemwingie, Lukaku, Marc Antoine Fortune. They all held the ball up well, created chances, and more importantly helped to cover the fact we've had a very slow defence and midfield for quite some time.

On loans I think we've been terrible as a club at these for quite some time as well. Sandro is playing and it's apparent that he's been told he's playing for a contract here next year. Good performance away at Man City followed by being dragged off against Arsenal. I know I wouldn't sign him up at the end of his loan.
