Striker, because that what he is. Future Jock 9 is the hope north of the border.What role do you think Bobby Wales will play
Winger or striker?

Eight more sounds a bit of a stretch, eh?Eight new players on top of the two new ones?
I would add back up goalie to your list, so make it nine.It's a lot I know.
I did write up that a centre half or midfielder could cover a full back slot but I would say 7/8.
Given that we are losing
Christie
Delcroix
Darling(?)
O'Brien
Allen
Pedersen
Naughton
I won't include McLaughlin as I think Fisher would just step in to replace him.
Coupled with possible outgoings such as
Tjoe a On
Bianchini
Ginnelly
All from the squad we had at the end of the season, it's looking to be a busy summer.
This post just exemplifies the state of our recruitment in recent years. A sad mix of dross, pointless signings and a lack of due diligence.It's a lot I know.

I put Fisher in on the idea that we will find it difficult to shift this summer but I expect there will be work to move him on.I would add back up goalie to your list, so make it nine.
I assume we sent him on loan in order to reduce our wage bill. If that’s true then we won’t have him warming the bench again this season.
If we have that many incomings we will be like the Forest team in their first year in the PremIt's a lot I know.

Way to many signings in one window is a recipe for a potential relegation battle. Players dont know each other on the pitch, the team tactics, what the manager wants etc etc etcIf we have that many incomings we will be like the Forest team in their first year in the Prem![]()
I think our back up keeper will be somewhere between the two. The Fish might be too expensive and Evan Watt (whoever he is) might be too green.I put Fisher in on the idea that we will find it difficult to shift this summer but I expect there will be work to move him on.
If we do move him on then I would be looking at Evan Watts who turns 21 in September to step up as the no 2.
He has done well at Galway when called upon but has since gone out of the team because Brendan Clarke has returned from injury.
I would like to think so but we might have to take the chance, save some money and go with a 21yr old as back up.I think our back up keeper will be somewhere between the two. The Fish might be too expensive and Evan Watt (whoever he is) might be too green.
We won’t take that chance, no way. One late tackle, one awkward fall or one turned ankle away from having a rookie between the sticks for game after game? Zero chance of it.I would like to think so but we might have to take the chance, save some money and go with a 21yr old as back up.
If pushed then I would agree with you and the need of an experienced enough back up would be my call also.We won’t take that chance, no way. One late tackle, one awkward fall or one turned ankle away from having a rookie between the sticks for game after game? Zero chance of it.
