    And why not, as long as those they do aquire are better than those previously signed. Is there an abundance of players you can name to are available from league one and league 2 for a sensible price

    Hopefully we have recruited or are recruiting - players who are capable of creating and scoring goals from set pieces - especially at home as we try to break teams down. McMahon in the first half of the season was key in this area that saw us in the play off places.

    At the moment we've only brought in a loan winger and it was 6 months at that, so I'd imagine we are going adopt a system which isn't reliant on one. I do remember that season under PP where were intent on switching to the diamond in an attempt to play attractive football, only to constantly revert back to 4-4-2, so another quality winger would be nice for options, but I'm not really expecting one. Worst comes to worse we've got Robinson and he's decent enough.

    T&a suggested we'd be looking for a younger option for that one

    Weve got robinson and gibson, admittedly not bags of experience but i wouldnt be worried about either playing on the wing. Given we had mccarten, law and gillead on the wings last year i know who id rather have.
    Having said all that, an experienced winger probably wouldn't go amiss, as personally id like to see robinson given the odd game up front running off wyke's shoulder

    Wow - just look at all the happy clappers go on this thread. One decent signing and suddenly everything is rosey. So easily pleased some people.

    Fantastic signing for us. I must say, as an open critic of Rahic I am very pleasantly surprised at the signings we have brought in this summer.

    And yet some are so quick to add their negativity.

    Hopefully an excellent signing for this level.
    Another couple with pedigree like this and I might even put a fiver on us staying up.

    Another signing out of the blue. We need an attacking midfielder now to compete with Wright and at least one striker

    He's got to be good he started at Everton as an 8 year old coming through the ranks, looks a good signing.

    You seem fairly confident we will go down, or is that you just trying to be controversial to further your anti Rahic agenda?
