From Neil Davidson's article back in November
We need more good players, to put it simply,” the star midfielder told reporters Friday. “Guys who can come in and, in a footballing sense, add something. “And the other side of it is we need more guys with personality, more leaders, more competitors, more men. And that’s not meant as any sort of disrespect to anyone who’s here. But when you have a season that went the way ours did, we’d be naive if we didn’t think all these things needed to be better, needed to improve.
“The goal here is to not just scrape through a season and maybe make the playoffs and maybe not on the last day. Yeah, we want to make the playoffs but there’s much more to it. And to do that, to get to where we want to be, we need more good players and we need more winners, leaders, competitors — guys who come in every day ready to spill everything they have into it.”
We will see once the season opens, but the 4 big acquisitions all seem to fit that description.
