That's a good point. If they're bringing cover in for every position, are they bringing one in for Sinik in the Physio room?
It sounds like the Giles to Middlesbrough epic has been bubbling since the end of the season. I am guessing the issues have been - waiting for replacements to settle in, and price.
Ngl, I'd rather have Burstow as 3rd choice with Bedia and Oscar fighting to start. I'm not confident with Burstow a constant feature on the bench. It's too soon.
I did say 17 days ( I think it was ) is a long time in football, we're in a much different position and it's great, it just would have been even better if it was 14days earlier
I hope it's great. Seems like a massive gamble to me. Hope releasing the spine of the squad works out. It's on a knife edge! Definitely can work out well though hopefully they can work well together
How often does the buying club control the timing, really? They often say they want business done early, but it rarely happens that way. Should probably just accept that most deals get done in the last couple of weeks, regardless of intent.
Actually, Iv'e probably not felt so comfortable about the spine of the team for years. I don't know what went on in terms of recruitment with Rosie and where the blame lies but the market would close and I always felt weak in certain areas, usually the midfield. We've changed a lot but feels like we are in a great position to attack the next couple of years, not just the next 6 months.
Are we strong enough to mount a challenge? Are our new players good enough? Chris Bedia - Dunno yet Oscar Zambrano - Dunno yet Mason Burstow - Dunno yet Charlie Hughes - Dunno yet Liam Millar - Probably Finley Burns - Dunno yet Anthony Racioppi's - Looks like he's got a mistake in him. Marvin Mehlem - Probably Cody Drameh - Dunno yet Ryan Giles - No. Plus a couple more possibly to join the Dunno yets. I'm hanging fire before I risk a couple of quid on whether we walk the league or not.
