Another season of waiting on the team to "gel" then?

Would expect to see the backbone of the squad brought in January ie.goalkeeper, central defender and either midfielder and/ or right back.
Doesnt look too promising for the vast majority of the squad unless it is a ploy to get them to play to be one of 'his 22 or 23'

I think you are reading more into that than was intended. If he's having a clearout, the idea surely is that he is left with the players he wants, plus any additions he wants, in order to get to 'his' squad, rather than just having Slade's squad, as he does currently.

Yes, I understand that, thanks!
I'm saying that Naylor is twisting the words to make a story out of nothing. Again.
I dunno, people say NSC is a hive of negativity when you could argue that the exact opposite is true, you could say it's actually a hotbed of insane and irrational optimism. Slade, Adams, Wilkins, McGhee, etc - they all could have said exactly what Poyet has said; which after all is quite an anodyne quote along the lines of "I want us to get promotion."
However people are reading it that this time we mean business. This time, unlike the last two seasons, we will REALLY clear out all the dead wood and next season the squad REALLY will be stronger than it is this season. Quite touching really, the triumph of hope over experience and as I say a rebuttal of all those who say that all people do on NSC is moan and slag off the players.

I know you do. And I'm saying that you're placing undue emphasis on what he's written to have a pop at Naylor. Again.
Just another squad that'll "need time to gel" come next November.....?
Hope not!

"My dream is to have 22 or 23 players in the first team squad on July 1" Isnt that the day the window opens
Dont players contracts run out on 30th June? that would be some going by Gus
Yes but you can agree deals before the window opens!
I'd wager he'd get more time to achieve it, if it does.
I suspect Slade would have had more time if he had been Bloom's choice. As I understand it, Slade was Knight's man, and Bloom went with him because he kept us up (whether because Bloom felt he'd earned the chance, or he felt it would be unpopular to change him).
Gus is fully Bloom's choice. As such, I think Bloom will give Poyet more time to sort out his team's gelling than he gave Slade.
(I don't want this to seem like I'm criticising Bloom or Slade)
(Also, I don't want this to be taken as me expecting struggles next year, this is hypothetical - if poyet's team takes time to gel)

I don't think Gus should be given any money for new players until he can change our current circumstances with what we have got, ie. get a upper mid table finish. If he doesn't show the potential to be a good manager then we shouldn't give him any money to potentially waste-!

How can he do that within the time scale involving the January window. Isnt it the duty of a chairman to back the man he has appointed rather than hold back in case he is a flop. That would be a very negative approach.

They've both said that there will be limited movement in January anyway, if he's able to bring two quality players in in January and shoot up the table obviously he should be given full support. But if anyone he brings in January is a flop then maybe it's not appropriate to wack another load if money at him.

But the 2 you suggest coming in Jan could cost £200k + each if they arer quality and what gaurantee is there that 2 would be sufficient I can think of at least 3 we need urgently.

Looks like Gus will only retain 6 or 7 of the current squad . TB will be writing several severance cheques for players still in contract but not wanted. I hope that Fozzy will be kept on in a coaching capacity next season.
That's the best thing a manager at this club has said in a very long time. Gus, may I recommend you book one of these in advance: http://angelinechang.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/8.jpg
