    On the photo shoot pictures he is shorter than Halliday so he's DEFINITELY not playing centre back. So, that's a position that may need further strengthening.

    A slightly homo erotic stance he’s doing there

    Read a few articles saying he lacks pace but these are good stats

    That looks better than decent.

    I think it may nail the idea that Tayo is returning if Lewis has re-signed as reported .
    Wing back wise we are very well off with 4 specialists as opposed to 2 decent and two makeweights?

    One factor to consider with Touray is that he has played quite a few games for Gambia and played 90 minutes in all 6 of their AFCON qualifiers in the 1st half of last season. He missed the 2 World cup qualifiers in March due to a knock. He wasn't selected for their 2 games at the start of this month but they were only friendlies so suspect he was given time off to sort out his contract situation. With that it looks like we could lose him come the international breaks as they've got 2 games in September and October, ironically he could end up facing Oduor and Wilson if they do the unlikely and force their way back into the Kenya squad. Thankfully Gambia haven't qualified for AFCON this year or we would lose him from mid-December

    Very experienced.
    30 so has a few miles on the clock
    Comes from a team that finished 3rd
    Good competition for LWB (if Richards stays)
    Former Salford captain
    GA knows him

    This is a solid signing.

    Seems like a decent enough signing but the stats seem to suggest his strengths lie in defence rather than attack. It’ll be interesting to see where he fits in considering the system we use.

    Good signing, hope we can add Collar next. To add to the Stockport alumni.

    Could he be the Smallwood replacement?

    Seems to not be considered attacking enough for LWB, we already have a plethora of LCB, and he seems to be a trusted GA lieutenant.

    I reckon he might have been signed for holding midfield

    GA said Power can play there. Not sure. Felt like a "standard" answer. Lets see who else comes in.

    Could be another Vincelot with a fantastic leap.

    Let’s be honest here, it’s more likely we will need top defensive qualities moreso next term . I think GA et al recognise that .Strengthening an already decent defence( bar Shep) is imperative in the division above. Horses for courses !
