just opened google mail and saw a report by Roker Report that Donald expects 2 new defenders to sign next week with a possible winger on the radar.............. thoughts lads as they must be loanees or ex championship or prem nor wanted, and out of contract

Surely one of them has to be a LB/LWB. We simply cannot go back to them years of shoehorning people into full back positions. Put proper full backs in or you don't get balance in the side. Hume still needs competition and an experienced pro to learn from at this stage in his career/development.

This is good to hear as we need a new right back and left back. competition for the spots and a more balanced defence.
Mcglaughlin is a right back not a left back
Hume is too young and needs blooding in slowly over the campaign
Onien aint a defender, he keeps getting caught out of position going forward into his natural playing zone.

would bet on it being a left and right back a good proper winger would be good as well oh for an Alonso we hope

Yeh mate a left back would great and any attacking options also
Hope we get them in this week
 
Personally think Hume would make a bloody good left winger. His crossing in the 1st game was abysmal but he had no cover helping at FB against Oxford. I would be tempted to give him a chance when Mcgeady tires.

He can weigh a pass, unlike many at this level, with the right level of support he will be an asset in any position he plays down the left hand side.
