Now that we've secured a centre mid, winger and striker, do we really need any one else, regardless of if we get brickloads of money for Bale or not?
In my opinion the most crucial ingredient of a successful squad is one that is settled, and know each other well. The core team should be:
Lloris
Assou-Ekotto
Kaboul
Vertonghen
Walker
Bale/Chandli
Paulinho
Dembele
Sandro
Lennon/Chandli
Soldado
We've got very decent backup in pretty much all positions, e.g. Friedel, Dawson, Holtby, Defoe/Adebayor etc. I think the one position we can upgrade on is maybe our full backs, but other than that is there really any need to alter what is a very good team?
The new signings have got enough time to settle in now and get to know the rest of the team before the season starts. I just think the last thing we need is a poor start with new players coming in a few games into the new season and disrupting the flow of the team.
