One problem we have, is being a goal threat from corners, so we need some sort of powerful striker. Or even a defender that doesn't wimp out of a goal challenge, might help here too. Or both.
And really, we need to increase the English head-count, as its only just on the edge of what is allowed. And the only English players worth having in your squad, are those in or close to the England set-up, and that comes at a cost.
I wouldn't be surprised at all, to see Carroll back here, as he's probably the only one we could tempt to the club.
