We have to give youth it's chance this year and we have to hope at least 1 or 2 step up to the mark because next year were losing 2 of our best players in Tommy and Carmont and to replace them with equal quality for similar money will be pretty much impossible.
Add in the possible departures of guys like Finch and Fielden and we really to need to box clever when it comes to player promotion and player recruitment. I have to problem with the club biding it's time on signing players when ones of the correct ability isn't available but we must strike if an opportunity arrises to sign a player of top quality in the right position.
We have months worth of time now to plan, have a look at the youngsters and asses any signings options.

You are probably right about this season, the signings look to be solid rather than spectacular, next season could see the club needing top class replacements for the players you have mentioned. Losing Finch and Leuluai at the same time would be difficult. This year should see Mellor given his chance to step up. Add the loss of Carmont and Fielden and recruitment for next year could see the "marquee" signing not seen this year.
