Fair point,there have been a few,I agree,.....Evans,Batth,Defoe among them, but I think they came in early on in this ownership. Not sure our needs are the same now....our dressing room is clearly a harmonious,together,committed and believing place,although I do think we're in for a tough challenge. Notwithstanding the fact we do need some quality additions,I think this coaching staff and these players will find a way.We have signed experienced players on free's the entire time these lot have been in charge.
He can absolutely add a lot to this squad imo.
The latter two might be better off going out on loan. See how they fair in pre season first but I'm not sure how much they will play next season.
A new first choice DM and a replacement for Jobe, plus Henderson would complement what we have already in Neil, Rigg and Le Fee.
Excellent points. I’d be worried having Browne and Jones regularly in the PL match day squadIf people aren't including Browne in their thinking then at a minimum we need to replace Browne, Salis and Jobe in midfield. And that;s before you consider that Harrison Jones was on the bench for most of the end of the season.
I think we need 4 central midfielders. Two quality ones and two more squad based but an improvement on Browne, with Jones and Aleksic being loaned out.
I’d be astonished if we sign 4. We’ve already got Neil, ELF and Rigg. I’d guess at two more coming in - three at absolute most. They also may look to give a chance to players already here.If people aren't including Browne in their thinking then at a minimum we need to replace Browne, Salis and Jobe in midfield.

Can’t wait to sit in my snide dortmund jobe shirt on holiday watching him rip up the club World CupJobe’s deal has to be done and agreed by 7pm GMT pr he can’t play at the CWC

Aleksic wasn’t fancied at championship level never mind the PL. I’d be shocked if he wasn’t out on loanTwo is the absolute minimum as we've lost two. I agree if Browne stays then we don't need to replace him. And then Harrison Jones and Aleksic might be retained as squad players but I don't think they're ready
Hibs may be a shout? Defo earned our trust with TriantisI just think Aleksic could do with a year of playing. Perhaps a loan to Pompey like Aouchiche had.
https://vm.tiktok.com/ZNdALcuXT/I can only get on board (and only just) with Henderson and Neil being our two DMs if a brick **** house of a number 8 to replace Jobe is signed.
Still wouldn't be my preferred.

Mayenda too even though he hardly played. They’re clearly trustedHibs may be a shout? Defo earned our trust with Triantis
I imagine it’s already done mateJobe’s deal has to be done and agreed by 7pm GMT pr he can’t play at the CWC
Also with Jones and Aleksic, there's only 38 games next season, not 46. Their development will be much better playing 40 games in Championship or League One than making 8 sub appearances for us.
