The core of the team is still there though and realistically we're looking at 3 or 4 changes to our first team. A new striker, Paulinho in centre mid, a new left back and if Lennon isn't deemed good enough for the other wide forward spot a player to start there. Most of the bench will still be the same too, so I can't see it being that much disharmony to the team.
As for squad depth - we only lacked that in wide options, but with Bale, Lennon, Townsend returning and a new wide forward we should be sorted (also Siggy and, at a stretch Holtby, can play there to some extent). Left back was also a big question mark but Rose is returning so hopefully he'll be involved as well as another left back coming in. I felt we weren't lacking in squad depth in the centre of midfield, but more a lack of quality as Huddlestone and Parker aren't up to the task, IMO.
er...........what about strikers??
