I still think we need a leader at the back who is a Premier League standard defender. Olsson in his prime. And a tough tackling defensive midfielder. Left back will concern me too if Gibbs gets injured. Probably have to accept it might take another year to address the weaknesses in our squad as we won't have enough to spend this season and the lads that got us up will be given a chance.

Diangana
Krov
Robinson
Pereira
That gets us to where we were last season, and all 4 have plenty of potential to improve/increase value. That would be an excellent start.
Button - decent enough experienced backup, just feels a waste of a million... would rather Etheridge or Dillon Phillips who are both available for a similar fee.
Kipré - for 900k we can’t lose, and would add some of the attributes we’re missing.
We’d still need a striker, a CM who would allow Krov, Livermore and Sawyers to move forward, and a fullback.
Ultimately this summer is about retaining the players who contributed last year and generated such a positive dressing room, adding a couple bits of PL quality (hopefully they MC and Striker) and then adding a couple gems that should be good if we drop.
Hopefully Harper, Palmer, Tulloch, O’Shea and Field can get some exposure and be part of a squad should we drop.
