Yep, and I know I keep banging on about it but we haven't as far as I'm concerned improved the squad, we've probably made it no worse but I don't really see it as being any better.
It depends.
In my view, we missed wingers who could get assists. So Jobello and Kastaneer are key this season. The former looks like a player who puts the ball in dangerous areas and that could be key. We missed that last season, imo. As for Kastaneer, he’s someone who needs to get goals and give us impetus going forward. He’s done well in preseason... If these wingers turn out to be good, I’m hopeful.
I’m happy replacing Willis with McFadzean, he brings experience and leadership to an inexperienced team. Personally, I think he’d have started even if Willis stayed (not ahead of Willis).
Allen could be big signing, scored 8 goals last season and he’s set his target for 10 this season. We missed goals from midfield last season so I’m glad this has been addressed.
For me, the biggest question mark is whether or not Hiwula can play as a striker in a 4-3-3. If he can, we’ve got a potentially potent team.
The team needs finishing touches, so I don’t disagree with you. Best case scenario, we can sign Bright and Walker. I’d say we’ve definitely improved the squad. Worst case, and we fail to sign either. Then I’m not as optimistic as I was earlier in the pre-season.
