It seems we have managed to develop a fairly decent squad and with the 3-4 additions Pardew is aiming at there will be lots of competition for all spots.
To compete in the PL and mount serious runs in both major cups, it requires often two first team to be extracted from the squad.
With two credible keepers, a stacked midfield, variety of winger options and most likely next season Chamakh, Gayle, Murrey and certainly 1 more striker all vying for 1/2 spots it seems that we can mount a challenge in these competitions without risking fatigue or injury taking effect on the priority of PL survival.
I also feel that giving players clear aims & goals at the start of the season further increases the chances of success.
So why not build a team to win a cup (something based on our performances (City, Liverpool etc) last year, we are easily capable of winning) and a team to survive (with a little variation & chop and change during the process a natural phenomenon)
......oh and to all those thinking we intend to sell anyone - no chance, no need of the money and the squad whilst certainly getting there is not yet strong enough to shed any weight.
