    Does he get a new number or get his old one back?

    Now think with our signings we will got 4-5-1, with it becoming 4-3-3 when we attack.

    Midfield of Palmer and Cooke. With Devitt in front.
    Scannell on the right and Donaldson left but more focused on joining Vaughan up top.

    Then wood/Longridge as a more attacking LB

    Good signing this. We will be an attacking force this season. I have us down to score 80 plus goals if we can keep all fit for the majority. With another striker to come in too.

    I honestly think that's what we're going for. With those three in midfield we should a) keep the ball a lot of the time, b) create lots of chances for the forwards and c) score goals from midfield.
    Yes, we'd look defensively light in midfield but few teams would outscore us and our defence has already shown it can keep clean sheets with very little protection from midfield.

    80p a pint and food is just as cheap. My £10 spending money should last a while :)

    The problem will be that we're too light in midfield with that system. There's literally not one of them that can put in a tackle.

    I'd retain the 4 4 2, with Devine looking the best of the 3 (Akpan and Anderson) Partnering Palmer and then Wood, Cooke, Scannell and Devitt would fight it out for the wider spots.

    If then we feel we need to strengthen midfield further in certain games, Devitt could play behind a lone striker.

    Actually, according to that info piece that someone posted on the Callum Cooke thread, he is pretty decent in the tackle.
    I accept that it leaves us light defensively in midfield. But at home I could see it working because we'd have so much possession, chance creation and scoring potential that I'd back us to out-score most teams in L2 with that lineup.

    The way I read it he has his old number and uses that one. The number is linked to the player I believe so when a player returns they use their already existing number.

    Two good signings recently but I wouldn't want us to change a winning side. Stick with 4-4-2 tomorrow and ease Cooke & Devitt in. On paper though, two impressive captures that definitely seal a top 3 finish, maybe even the title.

    God, it seems like yesterday when some didn't think Evans was good enough for us. Never mind Jordi Hiwula! It's alright demanding, but you have to be realistic, Devitt is a good footballer with goal threat, he'll do well.

    I take your point but if we can give it out as we did to him even before he landed we should be able to take it back
