    I just can’t see football players looking for stuff in the Range for some reason lol, I hope he has some success for Wales and Dundee. Don’t fancy that 8 hour drive, glad it’s not me

    Now pick.our best team out of the new squad. I don't expect much change initially but will Sheehan go with Idah straight off or maybe try playing him and Vip. I don't think so but nothing will surprise me.

    At least 2 decent players for every position.

    Is this our strongest Championship squad since relegation?

    I agree 100% - I ‘knew’ it was him but doubted myself for a minute or 2! <ok>

    From the Club’s email:

    “The Belgian-born Angola international, will provide a direct, pacy and aggressive creative threat in the final third with his ability to drift infield from the right flank onto his left foot, and a high work-rate without the ball.”

    Sounds exactly the type of player that Sheehan wants.

    But can he cross the ball accurately?

    I think so, can’t ask for much more. I think we have a real chance on pushing for playoffs now if not higher. I’m getting quite excited now

    Yes, I believe it is our strongest squad since the drop to the Championship. Players playing for a place in all positions.

    That graphic must have taken you ages to do Taff!

    Know the feeling, last time I was at an away match in the FA Cup at Bournemouth somebody unexpected turned up, it was Nathan Dyer, had some pictures and a chat with him, another down to earth guy

    From the Club - joining in the fact that supporters won’t believe anything until a player has been spotted at Rossi’s <laugh>

    This is the net transfer spend for all the Championship clubs. We rank equal 2nd. Wrexham are way ahead of the rest!

    The optimism is palpable! As stated, a great window, some decent players in and options in all positions.

    It's nice not to be reliant on loan players as well, building a team for more than one season at a time is a must.

    Anyone find it odd we haven't seen Wales come off the bench yet? It must be annoying for him! We still don't really know what he can do (yet).

    That second half performance has restored my faith, hopefully the consistency will come now we have all the pieces in place.

    We have a very long season ahead of us in the league without cup matches...injuries and suspensions will take its toll so the larger squad will hopefully be a blessing in disguise if needed

    I was thinking about Wales when watching the games, he is a player I’d really like to see playing his part, there is a sort of an unknown about him at the moment. I’m also really happy about this window and I’m sort of buzzing that we are building a team for longer than a season.

    It’s bit early to ask this, but who are you most pleased about who has come in? For me it is Idah as he is a goal scorer that we desperately in need of. But I think Benson will prove valuable in the Championship
