Getting in Emersonn, van Oevelen, then Maeda, Fatawu, Diop, Morita and potentially Scherpen - that really signals intent to be competitive in the PL. We need 3 or 4 more signings, some of which may be bigger names with a number of options open to them. So to get these ones over the line may create a snowball effect that helps to get the biggest ones done. Onwards and upwards. [Post edited 22 Jul 4:43]

Alongside, of course, players moving on to bigger and better things like Delap and Hutchinson and I suppose even Murica. Shows we're prepared to buy good international players, build them and sell them on. Get the conveyor belt going. |  | |  |

That's a good point. Attracting young players with a really high ceiling, so that if they shine for us they can get their move to a big 6 club irrespective of how we do as a club. |  |

I imagine we will see the wages on offer are massively different this time round too. |  |
