Shinnie is no doubt an upgrade on Lapslie. I'd have liked an out and out striker but I'm hopeful Smyth is an upgrade on Oztumer. Nice to have another pacey wide player rather than Doughty being the only player like that in the squad.
It'll be interesting to see how we line up, plenty of options now, 4-3-3, 4-2-3-1, 4-4-2 or a 4-4-2 diamond. What I wouldn't expect to see is a back 3/5 too often.

Trying to think of the best formation to play Doughty and Smyth together. That pace could be frightening. I wouldn't want us to be playing a back 5 very often either though in this league.
We could be forgiven for feeling a bit 'meh' when we signed this fella, but SG's recruitment genius has been highlighted again; he brings something to the team that significantly improves us.
He's a smart signing. Bowyer likes a hard-working forward no matter what kind of player he is. He fits Bowyer's big man/quick man front two and he's capable of playing out wide cutting in, so he's capable of fitting various different ways that we are playing this season. He might not be an out and out goalscorer but this team will need to be more than the sum of his parts and I think he can be a big part of that

Smyth is a wide player who can play as a striker rather than an out an out striker. He has looked good since joining us. The cross for our second yesterday was terrific.

Oh & it’s always pronounced with two ‘f’s’ 😜😜😜😜
Have you seen some of our "fans" reactions about players on social media ?
I'm pleased before you shout at me.
Bowyer and gallen deserve credit

Long Throws 5. 5! Just shows, Football Manager are guessing half the time
Another diamond plucked from the rough!
