We've lost 8-9 players from last season where we were only just good enough to squeeze into 6th.
So unless those 4 players are all of championship quality, which is unlikely, i simply don't see how replacing those 8-9 players with 4 new ones is going to be good enough to make us into a top 2 side.
So according to bowyer the side next season will be. something like
New Gk Page Dijksteel Bauer - Sold to the first bidder Pearce Tariq Fosu - Sold to the first bidder JFC Aribo - sold to the firs bidder New player New Player Big mag - Sold to the first bidder
Subs Solly Clarke - Will he be fit? Ajose - Sold? New player KAG (if not locked up) Sarr Dillion Phillips- Bowyer doesn't sound confident in him.
Feel like I must of missed one or two but if bowyer thinks that is a top 2 squad then all I can say is these new players must be something special
Don't forget LB says we have got 5 hes prepared to let go out. If 2 of those are Konsa and Lennon who are the other three? LB says some of the squad are "too similar" but who?
Reeves & Clarke? KAG & Ajose?
Can't think of any others.
If we keep Vetokele and add 4 more then that might make sense, but not if they are the usual cast offs and injury prone frees we usually sign

I'd assume Sarr and Igor because of their wages, then maybe KAG.

"Bowyer believes with what he saw last year and the talented youngsters at his disposal, it is quality and not quantity he needs this summer." Words fail me. And still time for a few more to be offloaded to pay for Roland's summer holidays

This shows a lack of experience in my view. You don’t win promotion with a small squad.
I’m not sure we should read too much into it. Bowyer would be criticised if he talked about say 8 signings then only made 3 or 4. Why build up fan expectations - if RD is still here he’s not going to let him bring in 5-10 signings.
If the takeover goes through I can see that number changing.
My view too. The club is in a state of flux and nothing is set in stone at the moment.
IMO Bow has been asked a few questions and his answers are intended to give very little away really, keeping cards close to his chest. He'll already have thought hard about what he wants to do - but he's not about to stand on a soapbox and wax lyrical. He's not Karl Robinson, you know.
The one certainty is that we'll have a better picture of where we are as a team, and as a club, once the season gets underway. That's in 6 weeks time. A lot will probably happen to the club, let alone the team building, in that time - so no point speculating based only on what we know today. Much will change.

Say nothing, win lots.
Don't be a mouthpiece or puppet for Duchatelet.
Anyway he will sack you in November and bring in Congo Chris.
