Portsmouth captain Dejan Stefanovic thinks we can be a top 10 club this season providing we make our mark in the transfer market.
Stefanovic told The News "We can reach the top 10 or reach a semi final of a cup competition or better but it all depends on which players we are going to bring here.
"I said from the beginning of the season we need seven or eight quality players. It doesnt matter which positions but we need a big squad for next season
"If you have a big squad in the Premiership then automatically you are a success, it's as simple as that.
"It's vital, espeically around Christmas time when you've got a lot of injuries and suspended players.
"If you've got a big squad you can change and rest players and this is the most important thing in the Premiership.
"You need two good players in every position if you want to achieve something in the Premiership.
"We've got 22 players here at the moment. We've got a good squad, but another five players and we have a very good squad for the season ahead.
"A top 10 finish depends on which players we are going to bring in.
"Its too early to say where we will finish but if you add at least five or six quality players to the ones we have already, yes for sure we can do it."
It seems that our captain has more optimistic view of our squad than the manager does, its interesting to hear Dejan talking about the 2 players for every position, a view made popular in the last couple of years by Chelsea however Jose Mourinho seems to be moving away from this as it creates too many unhappy players so perhaps multi positioned players are the answer, but Dejan is right to get the kind of league position a club with the backing Gayadmak has given us would expect does need more quality players, something we are finding very difficult at the moment.
