It depends on the influence those players we bought in have on the others.We needed a CB before we sold the best one at the club. We need a proper back up or someone to play along side Kane if he stays, if he goes we'll need 2.
Right now, we are going into the start of the season weaker than when last season ended. We have a hell of a lot to do.
Romero is coming in as a senior defender, if he's controlling the back line the likes of Dier and Sanchez only have to play off him. A much easier role than having to make their own decisions.
Skipp can play the DM role allowing PEH to play further up the pitch. And with two hard working CMs, the more attacking role may be allowed to push on more.
And if Gil is as good as I think he can provide more than Lamela and Moura with no loss in effort as well as provide a genuine outlet (he appears to have a great touch) when we're pressed.
I know that's a lot of 'ifs' but I think the players we have bought/returned provide more balance to the team than we had last season.
I'd still like a second CB, CM, RB, and striker but I believe our current starting eleven will perform better than last year (assuming Kane starts).
