Which players will we buy in the summer to consolidate our mid table position and continue our gradual progress towards the top end of the premiership over the next four or five years ?

He's not good enough any more. I'm confused , if we don't intend to consolidate then move on in the next stage to great things, why have we bothered to fight our way this far ? I remember when Liverpool were a lower league mob before Bill Shankley, so why can't we do that ?
As I keep saying here, it's not an overnight thing but like most things in life it can be achieved if you intend, rather than hope , to complete the " mission".
I'm not having a go at you personally but a lot of people here don't get it. Vincent Tan and Sir Neil are not men who dabble in things with some vague and transient concept of what they're trying to achieve, nor are they dreamers whose hopes don't match reality. That's why they're stabilising the club financially and waiting till they've created wealth before they spend it. That's why they're organising fantastic world class training and academy facilities at Hensol and planning staged extension of the Stadium.
Of course the whole project can be knocked back or even broken at any point, but the intention is to transform Cardiff City into a world class club.
I know you'd be the first one to celebrate that, so stop accepting the idea of being second best. We might have to wait for it rather than doing it on a pay day loan and ending up like Aston Villa, ( and actually I predict Fulham and Wolves too), but it can and I think, will come in time because we're doing it the right way.
In short, the idea of top players coming to Cardiff might seem ridiculous at the moment but that could change completely within three to five years.

Yeah, absolutely the same Liverpool. That's my whole point isn't it ?
Before Bill Shankley took over, Liverpool were totally in the doldrums - if you say they were getting big crowds in the second division I have no reason to doubt you, but I don't recall that. In any case , the point is that they gradually improved and got better and eventually achieved all that great stuff you've mentioned , and there's no reason to think we couldn't do the same in time.
