This is quality I tell you. A coach not set in the dark ages and wants to help improve players. A scouting network that's got really effective global connection. May I actually dream that this MASSIVE direction change is happening!?!?!?!!??!!?!!? Get freeking in - Short I love you!!!!
Cabral in particular I'm really excited about, a midfielder with a bit of guile who looks comfortable dictating games. Diakite is a very solid and athletic lad, and although I know not enough to comment on Roberge, the clubs that have shown interested and the admittedly 'best bits' YouTube stuff looks very promising indeed!

Don't mean to be negative but isn't it a bit dodgy signing a team full of players who have no experience in the prem just a thought.
I would have thought this too but we signed a load of players with prem experience: Vaughan, Gardner, Larsson, JOS, Cuellar, Graham etc... and it almost got us relegated. So I am willing to believe that with PDC at the helm we will be ok.
