Yes, improving the squad is the key to challenging in multiple competitions. More precisely increasing the number of players in the squad who have the quality to start a game. This is what gives you the ability to manage workloads and make tactical changes for individual games. Also most importantly it this that helps bring consistency of performance to the team as it determines the number of potential combinations available while minimising any drop in performance. Without this you won't challenge for titles and cup runs become more a matter of luck, or requires a focus on one competition over the others. By my reckoning we had 15 such players at the end of last season. Potential we have 4 more with Bergvall, Gray, Solomon and possibly Spence, without considering Academy prospects and new signings. So, say we sign 2 more viable starting options, that means Ange potentially has more than 20 players to consider when selecting his starting 11. That to me is starting to sound exciting, especially when you consider there's at least a couple of Academy players Ange can consider. I think it's most telling that all the players being allowed to move on, while extremely good ones, are players who only provide service off the bench or when a large number of the starting players are missing. There is a place for some players like this in your squad, but at the end of last season we had too many of them and the improvement of the squad comes from increasing the numbers of those who can start.
Are you aware of Ange’s previous record in European competitions? First manager to see his team get knocked out of all 3 uefa competitions in one season
