Regarding Mcgennis, I've seen a little of him and he looked more like an athlete than a footballer. The problem is we don't have enough footballers, but we also don't have many out and out athletes either. Ideally I'd say don't touch with a barge pole but I don't know if we'd get anyone else in, let alone someone better, if we don't get him.
So glad we got in a British manager to play a flat 4-4-2 with two midfielders who can run around a bit, a narrow winger, and a tricky winger. Two "no-nonsense" center backs who are slow on the turn and poor with the ball at their feet, and little and large up front. It's tactics straight out the 1970s!!!

Yeah the whole British thing was massively overated. Best players we have had technically over the last few years have all been foreign - JBG, Buyens, Bulot, Ben Haim.
We have gone too far the other way. We needed a blend of both.

Completely agree. Our best technical player now is Diarra.

Maybe Simpson is the one who is due to join us before the Cheltenham game. ITTV think he could be and I'd say both would be useful additions.
1) never been linked with us other than people on this forum saying they would like him.
2) is actually not that good anymore - orient fans say his best days are behind him (and his best days were as a lower league winger). Not the answer.
