Some people keep banging on about the strength of this squad but I'm sure we had less strength in depth in 2005-6.
Indeed, I remember endless threads about how lucky we were with injuries and how few centre backs we had.
As I see it, we have now at least 2 options in very position and a lot more in some.
Whilst the much maligned Kebe has been one of our best players, Henry, as his back up, is still somewhat untested and might be potential weakness. On the olther hand, all of Hunt, Doyle and Rosenoir have played in that position before.
Without departures additions would have been surplus to requirement and most of the Championship would swap our squad for theirs.
I'm delighted, but not surprised in the slightest, that contingency plans were in place should we have been forced to sell a player or two but things now look quite rosy until January at least.
PS.
Perhaps the time has come for Leroy's fans to consider the possibility that he was dropped from Saturdays 16 purely for footballing reasons.
