Johnston really boosts it a lot. It’s a much more ambitious and interesting window than we’ve had in years in terms of profiles of most the players.
Still it’s very much in the unknown at the moment, hopefully it’s a master stroke.
Agree with this. I’ve seen other windows lauded in the past and the results haven’t transpired. You only need to Look back to the signings off Wallace and Swift. Generally praised, but now you see comments like ‘should never have given those deals etc’ both have probably been ok, but they haven’t pulled up trees.,
We’ve done well to lower the squad age, wages, make some money and bring in players who provide some hope though. In many respects just maintaining whilst doing that is good in the circumstances, but for it to be great needs to be proven over time. Still a decent chance as much as 8/9 starters most weeks will have been with us last year and we have signed 10 players.
I do worry about the centre backs though and have reservations on a couple of signings. Racic, Heggam and Johnston are the pick of the signings who I’m most excited about, suspect that’s the same for most.
