    No thanks to Josh Wright and his Family. Overrated.

    I don't see where his family come into this

    Robinson says he wants two players off each position so Wright would be competing with the likes of Kashi and JFC.
    and Crofts, Aribo, Jackson, Lapslie, Dikjsteel? Thats more like 3 players for that position.
    Crofts - Not good enough to start every game
    Aribo - Only played a handful of games but signs a very good player
    Jackson - Past his best now, any team looking to do well cant not have JJ as starter unfortunately
    Lapslie - Unproven
    Dikjsteel - Unproven

    I still feel we need another CM alongside Kashi(Fitness) and JFC.

    The more I see and read about this Wright rumour, the more I think it could happen. Would be a good signing in my opinion, definitely an upgrade on Crofts and shown last season Wright can score goals too.

    Waste of a wage for me. GK, LB and a striker are my top wish list.

    We have more than enough MF and the young backs can play wide if needed. I know I have said this before, but I firmly believe that you need to buy the best CF you can afford and build the team around him, which is what we did with Killer. You can have all the fancy formations in the world but you need someone to stick it in the net.

    Mag is hardly prolific, but I expect this to be his most productive. If he is unable to play I think we could be in trouble. I wish Watt had left instead of Aribo as he is not a striker imo. Oh well.
    No need to read anymore - says it all. Close the thread. Nothing else can come close.

    Still has nothing to do with whether he'd be a good signing or not.

    I still feel we need another CM alongside Kashi(Fitness) and JFC.

    Let's put things into perspective though. If we go into a season with 23 odd senior players (2 each position and a 3rd striker) and then 4/5 promising youngsters as cover, we have to accept that is the best we are going to get as it certainly trumps anything we have had in the past few years.

    I don't see the point in having 6 CM's if it's going to leave us short elsewhere.

    Ideally, I agree that another CM would not be a bad thing. But we need a GK, a RB, a LB, 1/2 attacking midfielders and possibly a striker before we worry about adding another CM.

    I see what you are saying and agree with your priority order but if we dont get another CM as well then we are in danger of seeing our midfield get overrun, slow and predictable like the last 12 months and also Lapslie, Dikjsteel and Aribo might be playing more games than ideally they are ready for and that has been the classic trade mark of this regime.

    If this happens we will see the same problems of last year losing possession no build up play which left us open at the back and slow to attack. Therefore that is why I see another CM who has energy box to box as so important to how our season pans out.

    I'm not disagreeing at all. I am just trying to be realistic as life under this lot has left a lot to be desired.

    At this moment in time, it's quite frustrating to bid for Josh Wright when other areas of the team need improving a lot more urgently. We don't even have a fit LB and its coming towards the end of July yet we bid for a 5th/6th CM? I don't get it.

    Bidding for one position does not mean others are not being worked on, For example it sounds like LB is all but done.

    I'm not sure we have one. Aribo doesn't look an energetic box to box player to me. Not sure JFC is that kind of player either, though there are signs he might be able to add goals to his game.

    Come on, you know what this lot are like! We will sign Da Silva and Wright, and then the budget will be gone. Leaving us with too many CM's, enough CB's but light everywhere else.

    Sorry if I am being pessimistic, but I would prefer we sorted out the positions we needed first.

    No objection to Wright. Even if he doesn't start it adds depth, of which we've not had in recent seasons. There's also no guarantee Kashi will stay fit.

    There's no guarantee any of them will stay fit. We've gone into season after season excited but knowing we lack depth and utility players.

    We need as many as we can get for now but need to make sure of two things.

    1. They are top L1 standard
    2. They are not overpriced.

    Agreed, it's a massive leap of faith that Kashi after being out for so long will be able to cope with 2 games a week in L1. And JFC doesn't seem the sort of player to go all season without injury

    In addition to this, there's also the fact his own brother tweeted about him possibly moving to us, so clearly some truth in the rumours.

    Or he did a interview post match for the media and the media team have used it to run a story on the OS, it is the same story SLP have as well.

    In his other appearances he was average.

    I still feel we need another CM alongside Kashi(Fitness) and JFC.
    Would put JFC in that fitness bracket aswell, he always seems to be injured as well.
