GK we have Given
RB we have Young, Lichaj, Cuellar
LB we have Warnock, Young, Clark
CB we have Dunne, Collins, Cuellar, Clark
CM we have Petrov, Makoun, Delph, Bannan, Ireland, Herd, Hogg
The majority of the players above we playing consistently in a team that finished 6th so don't right them off just yet.
CM is probably the next area (after we get Given & N'Zogbia in) we need to asses as to get some experience in, if nothing else.
Also, the admin staff have been back a week as of today, PF has been back less than that so I can understand why deals that taken this long.
