TommyF Has any other team ever entered into the premiership having added to their (slim) squad by so little? (though we do still have 24 days to get players).
Wigan added fewest last season with 9, West Ham and Sunderland both adding at least 10. Sunderland proving that isn't not all about quantity though they had finished top of the Championship but still added several players with premiership experience.

Royal Lady that's ok then, we might struggle in the Premiership, but we'll have the best shrubs in the league!

Sunderland had 8 players leave, Wigan had 8 leave and West Ham 7.
We have had 2 leave this summer (Mullins and Young).
What does that tell me - that our squad has far less dead wood than those teams and does not need wholesale changes.

Nope, that we already had cleared the decks the season before. None of those teams had been promoted having played about 17 players all season - most likely double that number and losing 8 or 9 players probably still left them with a squad as large as ours. We had an incredibly small squad last season but there was alot of quality for sure.

Royal Lady I thought the rise in season ticket prices was meant to cover the cost of new players being brought into the squad. Or something. I'm more concerned that the likes of Shittu prefer to sign for Watford than us.

My thoughts exactly. I feel at a loss as to what has been going on behind the scenes with regards to new signings.

Royal Lady they might be working on it, but it doesn't guarantee any other players will want to sign for us.
