I don’t know if we have some fans who just want the excitement of signings but I want to see the club spending money responsibly. I don’t want to see us wasting money on agents and changing for the sake of it.
We need a handful of players, not 7 or 8 or more and a total rebuild. That would be ridiculous.
Some fans will be saying things like “we need three centre backs”. We’re not getting three centre backs. You may not be massively into Robbo but as a first back up he’s perfectly fine for the level. We won’t be signing 3 potential Premier League centre backs. That’s totally unrealistic.
“We need to replace Souza”. No we don’t. For a start we don’t even know how many midfielders Selles’ system is going to require. Then at this level I’d make a strong case we don’t need a dedicated DM. We already have Hamer, O’Hare, Arblaster, Peck, Davies, Shackleton and Brooks who can play midfield.
Me, now we have Bindon, I’d like 3 players, max 4, all of which can be serious contenders to start. An additional right back would be one of them. Then the rest will depend how Selles wants us to play. It could be a winger or two and a striker. Who knows?
But let’s not just piss money away for the sake of it. Spend when we need to and replace if required.
