Your squad wasn't thin at all, it might be thin soon if you are getting rid of all the dross though.

IMO the squad was not particually thin but it was thin in regard to quality. With the removal of Arshavin et al from the wage bill it appears that the club are clearing our prior to bringing in.

The longer we drag on the more difficult we get the players. Every team knows we are desperate to buy some players, and the price won't be cheap.
Too bad our management is cheap.

Dong imo we need 3 player for the first team (striker, centre mid and attacking midfielder) and another 2/3 to add to the depth of the squad, (GK, centre back)

8bit. I agree although for me that would be the absolute minimum we need, depends on how much youth is likely to step up.
