If we can wedge our way back into fourth this season, losing out might be a blessing in disguise as we'll be able to get players cheaper in the summer. But I'm not holding my breath about us getting fourth...

That's one hell of a list. Like you said, scatter gun approach, all sorts of positions, ages and nationalities, typical 'Arry Redknapp school of football management approach they showed there. It was never any different at Portsmouth was it?
