Possibly three of McCanns eight still to come. I hope we can associate the word Quality and with a least two of those.
From what I have seen so far I genuinly feel/hope some money is being saved for a proper goal scorer and maybe a big partner up there.I think the signings so far could be described as sensible/shrewd.In that list above, now woods is here (new captain for me) I would put both Olowu and Faulkner above Anderson. I think Anderson needs to go.I'm hoping Taylor gets fit aswell and we finally get to see him perform.
I think it’s been said that we’re likely to bring in more than 8.

They come at an inflated cost and aren’t guaranteed to repeat it elsewhere.If the team is strong and clicks nicely they can come from surprise sources or be shared out equally across the team. The team will also keep more clean sheets.Leyton Orient won the league on a solid defence. Their top scorer Smyth got 10 (less than Miller). As did Stevenage’s top scorer Reid. Hoskins for Northampton and Dennis for Carlisle weren’t that prolific in their careers previously, but they were part of good teams this year.I think the business has been good so far on the whole.

Never repeated his form with us.
Yes, looks like he's back and got a bit of colour in his cheeks. Come straight back in and signed another Senior player!

I said something similar on the 'squad location' thread.All very quiet and low key while McCann been away. Getting bored now.....anyone know when he is back?!
From McCanns interview he wants one more in midfield and possibly two upfront. He refers to pace and 'youthness' ? Couldn't quite make out what he said.
