Fulham skipper Danny Murphy feels the current the squad is the best he's seen.
Murphy was pleased with the way Fulham finished the season.
He told fulhamfc.com: "This is the strongest the squad has been in my time at the Club and everywhere you look there is competition in every position. That's something that we haven't perhaps had in the past, and that strength has certainly come as a benefit to the team because performance levels have risen as a result.
"The Manager had a really tricky start, let's be honest. Anyone that joins a club as late as he did will always be playing catch up to a certain extent. It took us a little while to take onboard the new ideas and approach.
"But I think people have seen the team evolve. The Manager and his staff can be proud of the job they have done in their first season here. He always maintained that once we had everyone fighting fit that we would challenge for a place in the top 10 and that has happened.
"They [the coaching staff] have a full pre-season with us now, and I'm sure they will bring players in and make us that bit stronger. I think it could be an interesting summer, although if I'm honest, I don't believe that too many changes are needed. I'm a believer in the old saying 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'."
