Without wishing to hijack the thread too much, I think our recruitment will be more focused on specific quality rather than quantity. The reason for this statement is that Dai was quoted in an interview in the summer stating that very few contracts were up this coming summer so the general squad turnover would be a lot less... in the region of 5 players only.
I have no idea if we're spending up to the cap or up to a set budget, so not going to make assumptions on that. Therefore, working to those same parameters, I'm guessing its dependant on what contracts are up and the amount of wages it will free up.
Not seen anything of Vukasinovic so can't pass judgement on whether he'll make a long term impact on the squad or be a one season player from the championship. So I guess (keeping it focused on SR as per the thread), its a question of do we feel Launch, Gaskell and Rowlands are a big enough core to allow Cardell & Flament time to develop (not forgetting Matthews of course, but view him as a fringe player)? Do we think bringing in a Nakarawa calibre player would help compliment and drive the core without hindering Flament & Cardell?
I feel such a player is required. Launchbury is likely to be away with England at points. factoring injuries and rotation... a top quality SR would compliment rather than hinder IMHO. I would love for us to target Nick Isiekwe… players a mobile style that suits what we're trying to get back to and has some serious size to him.
