Totally agree. However, the word is quality. We've signed a great prospect and top quality in Cornelius and I think he'll get 15 + goals this season - which will be fantastic if he does. However we could do with another top quality striker to make it 4 ( we will get injuries).
I am not convinced with the defence at least 2 needed here, also another winger and a gutsy midfielder.
6 top quality signings will keep us up.

However, I think this is our best chance to attract people this season because the fixtures are stacked against us before January. If people don't want to join us now they definitely won't be interested in jan because I think it'll be December before we can regularly pick up points.
We should stick to trying to sign quality young players though. No point in going any other way because we will be in QPR's sutuation if we go down with no chance of getting rid of our overpaid older players.

Out of interest who would be the 3 or more teams worse than you if you don't strengthen? Bearing in mimd the champions have finished lowest of the promoted clubs over the last couple of years, surely its too simplistic to just say palace and hull especially as they are both signing players.
