We need to replace at least two wide players and a striker just to stand still. Let’s hope the club knows what it’s doing and that it’s fully aligned in strategy (ie bloody slow) with Marco who increasingly seems to be the only credible person running the club.
Retention is absolutely important! But I'd argue enhancing the squad is more important, particularly when you consider the rest of the league is strengthening. If you merely retain then you're treading water as it rises. If your recruitment is astute and you do your due diligence than the gamble as you put it is mitigated.
What a negative article...keeping TC,Tere and Robinson is massive...period. we possibly need another striker ,another strong middle of the park midfielder and a back and we are challenging for a better position than last season..ffs stop whinging and panicking like a little girl ,we all know the Kahns come in late transfer window deadline to bring in more recruitment!
Yet another piece bemoaning the speed of new signings. It's not like the club can snap its fingers and force players to come to FFC. I'm much more concerned about quality over haste. Your 'child at Christmas' analogy is telling, it seems a few of the boys want almost anyone to sign as long as it's done quickly. These negotiations are tricky and often depend on other players movements before a club will release their player. We've done ok for the last few years so have patience, and faith. Also, by the way, please stop moaning about the Khan's, who have just written off yet another 70 million to help the club grow.

Retention is more important than recruitment. We know Tete and Cairney will fit in - whereas new signings are always a gamble.

Next they're be raving about giving Harry Wilson a longer contract than a year like he was in talks as the season ended
