    Normally I'd agree however, Ballard has only played over half of our league games in 1 of his 3 seasons. Cirkin has missed game time, Reinaldo had a bad injury a couple of years ago and we don't know how bad O9s injury is (@Prehab26 said he'd heard it was really bad) so I dont mind 9 for now

    I really rate him, i know I'm in the minority but he has to go and play week in week out if he's to ever reach his potential

    Still really keen on seeing quite a few outgoings soon. Squad does feel bloated at the moment in some areas but a lot of the ones making it bloated aren't going to feature so need to be moved on.

    He's always looked fairly solid to me at CB, not great at crossing or overlapping which is why some fans don't like him as a LB.

    I've got no clue about him but seems logical signing to me

    And gives the club a bit a breathing space on the CB position

    Also cover for cirkin if he's out longer than expected

    I have just copied and pasted that to Google translate Blondy, and still don't understand it :emoticon-0102-bigsm, it's a different language to my simple mind <ok>

    Yep, we need to use the loan market and also be ruthless with some (browne and Triantis)

    All fair points. Just a personal preference that I don’t like it when squads are built on a contingency basis for more than normal levels of injuries. If you get to those points of desperation then you use your academy regardless of the drop off in quality.

    Equally, I guess it’s the hand we’ve been dealt with Ballard, Cirkin and Alese already here and under contract and with O’Nien’s injury as you say.

    Absolute meh of a signing. Probably wouldn't have got a sniff if he wasn't a Sportcover boy:emoticon-0105-wink:

    Let's hope he's amazing!:emoticon-0102-bigsm

    I think we all already knew that our business isn’t done.

    Or does that mean more to follow imminently?

    Worth saying that it'll probably be 10 if we count Alese. And that assumes that all of Hjelde, Seelt and Triantis move on. That's a LOT of defenders for a manager who doesn't rotate.

    Makes a whole load of sense. You don’t hang your hat on Cirkin being a reliable backup to Reinildo for me. Also if we didn’t sign a left back we would have Jones or Huggins playing at LB

    Cirkin has struggled every single season with injuries and had a really shoddy spell last season.

    You need strength in depth for me

    I think Alese will go out on loan as well, obviously depends who else comes in but I think 9 defenders tops is what I'd have
