they'll be loads more signings, I think a lot of them will be late in the window as can see Willock moving on in late August freeing up some money
I think we'll sign at least one more centre half possibly 2, central midfielder and another forward. If Chair, Dieng etc all go then they will be replaced as well
I have a feeling GA might try and introduce some youngsters into the squad. I've seen Kargbo and Pedder pictured in pre season a few other names to consider, by no means do I think they are ready but could be considered as back up!

GK - OK, Dieng good enough starter. Archer / Walsh as back ups OK 6/10
RB - Seriously worried about Drewe (do not think new contract was a great idea) less so about Ozzie (but would prefer him to be the back up) 3/10
LB - no idea about the new lad, sounds ideal as a backup though. Not as convinced by Paal as some are, but think he is more than capable 6/10
CB - weak as pss - Dunne OK, JCS will never be fit, Gubbins should have been let go, never will be good enough (1/10)
CM - ditto. Take Field out of that and *shiver* (2/10)
Wingers / AMs - Hmmmmm, Ainsworth will not employ 10s and Willock, Richards and Chair are NOT wingers even though they are the best of that lot. As wingers, trust Smyth to do a job, but Uncs is just way past it judging by the end of last season. Wingers (which we need) 3/10; AMs (which we don't use) 8/10
Strikers - Dykes gets injured, we are SERIOUSLY f-d and he won't score any more than 10 this season. 3/10
So, overall it looks bleak, but then we knew that - think we need at least 8-10 new players. There aren't many goals in that squad and its still a very leaky defence...
It will be interesting to see who he takes on tour. The squad has to be announced tomorrow doesn't it?? Maybe enough time to introduce one or two free agents?

Forget da Silva. He was let go as part of the 10 (yes, 10) B team players released.
