Okay, so the Embargo has been lifted, we are no free to get the players in SISU have said we can get. So the question is......
How many do we all think we will get?
Or do you think SISu are lying again!! No fence sitter's
ME? I reckon they realise that selling/releasing everything without replacement is bad move!! So i am going for 4 - 6 ADDITIONAL players to the squad as it sits today. I also think Keogh and Cranie will go, so in reality 6 - 8 new faces.
If you take every thing emotive out of the equation ie; loathing of SISU,player loyalty,fan expection etc ,purely on benefiting the club in the here and now in this division you'd have to say we need 8-10 in with the expectation of three or four out.By my reckoning we're around £2m. short for the budget for the season ,the outgoing being Keogh circa £1m. Bigi +Willis £1m. combined.
I reckon we need 6-8 players. But I expect to get 2 or 3. You know what we are like, even if what SISU is saying is legit and we bid\offer contracts to 6 players, we still need hope those players choose us over other clubs and even then we need to act fast and get them to sign the contract. Recent history doesn't bode well and fans remember that.
