Premiership Psycho by C.M. Taylor

Kev King has the world at his feet
His is the world of the top-flight football: lifestyle is everything, brands are all, adoration is obligatory and there is nothing - and no one - that money can't buy.

Up until last season, Kev had the Premier League status to match his premier lifestyle. Now, relegated to a lowly division, forced to watch from the bench injured and paranoid about his girlfriend's rising celebrity profile, he feels less in control of his life. And it's making him angry. Fighting his way back to the top, he leaves a trail of destruction.

Trophies in the cabinet,
Bentley on the drive,
bodies in the garden....

That's what it says at the back of the book. Sounds quite good. Just borrowed it of a mate.
 
Several doesn't mean seven.

We need more than that just to have a decent sized squad though. For next season we currently have:

GK - none (2+youngster)
LB - Dawson, Kilbane
LCB - Cooper
RCB - Chester
RB - Rosenior, Mcshane
LW - Stewart
CM - Harper, Olofinjana
CM - Koren, Bullard, Cairney
RM - Ghilas, Devitt
ST - Simpson, McLean
ST - Fryatt, Cullen

With an option on Belaid.

We need to add 2 goalkeepers, 2 starting option centre backs, a left winger, a right winger, and a targetman before anybody leaves. (which is coincidentally 7 players)

We're expecting Kilbane to go to Huddersfield, Olofinjana hopefully to Cardiff (replaced by Evans), and Bullard, McShane, and Ghilas to anyone we can offload them to so that our wage bill drops right down. (that brings us to 12)

You also have Cooper, Cairney, and Cullen (and maybe Devitt) who could well be seen as not being ready for a top Championship side being loaned out to a lower placed team to get games. (now we're at 15 signings).

Saying we're getting several signings says nothing, we need to make at least 10 (even if they're squad players) just to cover positions.

The only youngster your including is a keeper what about others such as Emerton who I was suprised wasnt included more as a squad player this season
 
Garcia is out of contract in the summer so we can't count him in next season's squad because he could decide to go elsewhere.
I didn't think Barmby had signed a playing contract for next year yet.

hmm ? Garcia has been offered a new contract already mate. pretty sure he's signed it too.
 
I think you may end up signing more of our players. It wouldnt surprise me if Sven sold Martyn Waghorn. Hope not as he class, just needs a chance.
