The worst must have been the ones left at the end who the 2 captains argue over who NOT to have and, eventually one is made to take both of them.

Ah, so the TOP signing that Nixon was on about is finally revealed;

BWFC can confirm the signing of free agent Gary Fraser.

The 19-year-old midfielder has signed a two-year contract following his release from Hamilton.


Well, I suppose it is a top signing if your side's Partick bloody Thistle! :)

I'm not sure about the coward thing, think that's a bit ott.

Ngog with a goalscorer like Beckford? Could be tasty IMO.
That'll be 4-4-2 you'll be recommending to Dougie then? There'll be some competition (when all are fit) for those midfield places... Which would you pick?

Chungy, eagles, mavis, holden, medo, pratley, andrews, vela, hall plus newboys I have no doubt forgotten!

I think we will be flexible with systems. We haven't really had a striking partnership for a while that has really been good enough to compensate for less in midfield. Who knows if NGog and Beckford will work? If it does could be quite a handful.

As for midfield choice, god knows at this stage!

Hence why I'm asking you! ;-)

Have you no idea at all which 4 you'd pick?

Depends on how Holden comes back. Whether we sign anyone else etc.

Probably something like Eagles, Medo. Holden, Pratley.

If all fit.

There are a few strong-looking midfield fours we could put out when all fit... Compared with other teams we won't be able to complain about strength in depth...

Moritz rejected the deal apparently. Flying back to Brazil tomorrow.

Mark Davies is still a miss.

Overall I still feel we are weaker than we were in the run in.

QPR signing Hooper and Austin apparently. They will have some team on paper for this league.

Reading will be strong.

Wigan haven't lost many and have some good players if they hang onto them. Shame about the manager though.

But those three squads on paper are ahead of ours I'd say.

After that I reckon Leeds, Forest and Boro will be tough.

Still feel we need to sort out centre half which is my main worry and find another pacy winger or two.

So does that mean there's still a big signing to come then? I'm lost now, I'm sure that's what we're waiting for.

There's only money available for a Rhodes type singing. That's it. No new money for Spearing, no money for Dawson. None.

Sounds that way, which is disappointing. I'd rather have Spearing and Dawson than Rhodes. We won't sign Rhodes anyhow.

I reckon Eddie Davies is looking at this and saying 'we can't keep spending money without getting it back'. Which is fair enough apart from the fact that we need to go back up to have any chance of getting close to balancing the books to stop running at a loss.

The trouble is that the teams who have come down seem to be spending and at least not losing too many.

Split the 'big money' for Rhodes and bring in Dawson and Spearing and then try and get a loanee striker desperate to prove he's not past it/had it etc
Pfffft.

Clearly Eddie is not up for that. So it's not happening.

That's not what the money is there for mate. It's like sending your mate out with money for a Ferrari and coming him back with 2 BMW's.

Sort of. Shit analogy, I know.
