Pretty much agree with the general consensus here. The worry for me is more about who we will bring in - especially under Pulis. We need to be targeting players well under 30 because the squad age is getting dangerously old, I remember reading that only 8 PL starting XI's this season had an average age of over 30 - and we fielded 7 of them. Also, signing squad-fillers and journeymen on the cheap needs to be avoided at all costs.

I honestly think we could get away with 5-6 signings this summer, providing that they are at a similar age and with a similar quality to Evans and Rondon. However, I expect that in reality we will be looking at 8-10, with over half of them either in the McClean, Gardner and Lambert mould or on loan.
