For many seasons our transfers have been boom or bust.
Big figures (£5-10M) spent more in hope than expectation.
On the other hand, lots of frees to make up the numbers and pad out the squad. Many of the latter blocked the way to the 1st team for youngsters. Whether on not it was because the youngsters weren't good enough I dont know.
We should be in a position with the current tyros that we dont need the padding with any incoming players needing to be genuinely better than we already have. I'd rather see one or two decent signings (I'm realistic in the fact they wont be world beaters) than 4 or 5 average ones.
As for experience, we've discussed it regularly over cup selections. One or two youngsters in amongst the old(er) heads.
We have a few decent players who still need to be guided through games and maybe not ready to guide others.
At the back, whether its Ng, Sang or another youngster at RWB, Morrison will talk them through the game.
On the other side, Nelson is still finding his feet at this level and cant provide the same support to Began.
Further forward, for all his qualities, Giles is a rookie and wont provide or get guidance from Began.
Harris and Colwill are in the same boat.
Genuinely dont know how supportive Keiffer can be. No slur on him, I just dont know.
Morrison, Flint, Pack and Ralls are the old heads in the team and are bunched together.
Fine when things are going well, not so when we're under pressure.
An experienced LB ( again no slur on Began) and right wing / attacker would balance the experience side of things.
Too late for this window.
Might be that a couple youngsters need to grow up quick.
