If we only get 4 we're in serious trouble We have 4 senior defenders and 4 midfielders, excluding the likes of El Haimour who's hopeless. No cover at all. We've lost Muller, Leon, Van Homoet, Andranik, Hammill, Mifsud and Souza since the end of last season. (won't count Rigters) ie, a keeper, full back, centre back, TWO centre mids, a winger and a striker. And yes, in the 6 I'm including long term loans should we find someone suitable.
It's already been admitted he's back in full training I don't see how pretending he can't play until a lawsuit goes ahead, and then playing him after that is going to work. Sure they're just not rushing him back.
And clearly most of the strikers aren't good enough/ready yet Else we wouldn't still be looking for another.
If Hume doesn't return for whatever reason We'll have Boggo, Macken, Odejayi and Sodje as it stands (plus Adam/RNL). Boggo looks decent but how many will he score over a full season? Could be 15 but could be 6-7 we shall see. Macken won't get more than 8 - not enough - even if he played every game. Odejayi - great goal today but let's be honest, it's unlikely he's going to do much, though hope I'm wrong! Sodje - looked very lively today and scored a decent goal and made one. But didn't pull up any trees in the Conference so unlikely he will quite be ready for any regular football this season.
Depends If Davey wants a reasonable chance of keeping his job. The fact he's after the likes of Andy Gray suggests he does.
RE:away for a week now so we aint gonna sign anybody next week,you would have thought they would pulling out all the stops to get things sorted in time for the new season.
