I like to try and be realistic,great to have pipe dreams and fair expectations,but without being able to spend fair money on reasonable quality players is beyond our reach(FFP) ,and God knows we need investing in some quality..

A good move for him and us with Lowe in for the same period and plenty of alternatives in his position.
To be fair there’s a few here that won’t cut the mustard in this league or higher (which surely has to be criteria to measure). I can’t recall anyone ever saying Hammalamadingdong has had a great game why isn’t he playing every week!
To be fair we are not going to get decent players prepared to sit on the bench or not even make the bench on a regular basis in this league on our wages. If we had strength in depth we’d be up the top of the league. It’s the massive advantage the relegated clubs have, plus the paid to fail cash. Our squad will always have a fair proportion of dross, until we fluke promotion.
So are we wasting money on players like Hammaleinen? Because he’s been here donkeys years and done nothing, as have a few others.
We need players who are prepared not to play very much on a (relatively) low wage as squad back up. You might see it as a waste of money or say we should just play kids when our first picks are injured to ‘develop’ them. I just think it’s inevitable that we’ll have a couple of serial underachievers in the squad in our situation.

Kakay in particular is much improved and comes across as a decent pro. He's never going to be your starting full back but he puts a shift in whenever called upon and he's arguably better than most give him credit for.
