Stoke City winger Liam Lawrence believes they need at least three quality signings to handle Premiership life.
"We all know how difficult it will be, and I'm sure the gaffer is already working hard on it, but I don't think there will be much happening until after the European Championships.
"I had a chat with the chief executive the other day to try and get some names, but he was giving nothing away.
"Personally, I can't wait for the fixtures to come out next month, although I don't think what we've achieved will have sunk in even after that.
"It will sink in when we report back for pre-season training on July 10 and start wearing our new training kit with Premier League badges all over it. That's when it will really hit me."
