Without names, it’s difficult to know if that’s good, bad or indifferent.
A couple of points (assuming that UTO’s post is positionally accurate):
- no competition for Long. (No, I don’t consider Forde suitable for a team with aspirations of promotion)
- LB. Maybe the PL loanee will be mustard, but that’s a big risk and one they absolute need to be sure of.
Our full backs were a significant weakness last season and that must be addressed.
All the noise of increased budgets (and the funds raised through the sale of McNally, a portion of which it’s reasonable to hope will be used to strengthen the squad), has my expectations set high. Given that UTO’s record is so good, and based on his post, I’m edging towards feeling that it’s likely to be a let down of a transfer window.
