Re: Dyche says he's targetting 2 or 3 more players

No certainty last year non this year. We've as strong as a squad as we've had for a long time. We need some proven PL players which we've got not a team just full of youngsters. Give your head a wobble and get back to the potting shed.

We've a good chance of survival with Dyche at the at the helm as is. Looking forward to the season even if we didn't sign anyone else. Another CB is probably needed and no 10 would be ideal.

Re: Starting 11 and formation if the season started tomorrow ?

For me I hope we make every effort to get Defour on to the pitch and to evolve I think we need to. We need to be able to change formations to suit different opposition. We also now have plenty of grafters and runners along with defensive midfielders to accommodate him.

It's not just about transfer fees. Barton cost no transfer fee but a fortune in wages. We may unearth some gem from abroad with a lower transfer fee. There are plenty of examples of huge fees for below average players of players who have failed.
