But it doesn’t make sense because he signed one of them keepers off

I suspect that Walter has highlighted that the keeper and DM are the most important roles in his system and that he agreed to Raccioppi (sp) as a back up to Pandur but now feels that neither of them is comfortable enough with the ball at feet to get the best out of the system.
 
Only time will tell, only time will tell !!!!
Nothing more to ad, except maybe that
I dropped a crowbar on my right foot yesterday
while taking the old beds apart to take to tip
Two months ago I broke the big toe
on my left foot, in the Norm’s world of possible
positivity I could of ****ed them both up together
instead of just hobbling on one foot, then two months later, the other foot, see every cloud and all that…. Mind you get absolutely no
sympathy in this bloody house… just the butt of everyone’s jokes…for two months ..lol

A: because they weren’t good enough for the championship
B: they haven’t played first team for nearly a year.

so a waste of a fees, a waste of wages, a waste of time.

signing another keeper makes no sense

If we get promoted - then 'everything made sense' because the team / squad worked and achieved the prime goal.

Whilst I agree. If we get promoted then it doesn't matter so much. We would probably just throw the fee at Rushworth at that stage
 
So our squad will look like this (non bold players will probably be loaned out):

Goalkeepers:

Pandur
Raccioppi
Rushworth
TLT
Cartwright

LB:

Giles
Jacob
New guy

RB:

L. Coyle
Drameh

CB:

Jones
McLoughlin
Burns
Hughes
Cooper
Smith
Ashbee
Leake

CM:

Zambrano
Meffert
Puerta
Slater
Simons
New Guy
R. Coyle
Tinsdale

LW:

Millar
Sinik

RW:

Longman
Jarvis
New Guy

AM:

Omur
Mehlem
Vaughan

ST:

Bedia
Burstow
New Guy
Sellars-Fleming
Hall

That gives us 28, assuming there are no outgoings from the bold selections and that the ones not in bold don't end up going out on loan or leaving. I don't think that's overly bloated and gives plenty of competition for places.

Yeah one of the new signings is supposed to be a left back. If we only had Giles and Jacob I'd be concerned. Jacob hasn't settled into this new system and they want to get him out on loan for league experience, which would just leave Giles and an out of position Lewie Coyle.

Interesting. Just hadn't seen it mentioned elsewhere. I do agree one was needed I just thought the club was ignoring it

Where have you seen that? Thought it was just GK, CM, two wingers, and striker?

Or we've taken losses on players to get rid of them like Woods and Oscar. Oscar's signing on fee and wages would have been substantially more than the ~1m we got for him.

Woods was a lemon, prob the lemon of all lemons above Sinik.....Oscar, we've prob taken a bit of a hit on him, though his first season you could put a case forwards to say that without his goals we may have gone down, so we at least got some ROI in that first year.
