Dismantle and attack, look for the negatives in EVERYTHING
People claiming we shouldn’t be signing them because they didn’t win the play offs is crazy.
They were a Josh Davison penalty away from Wembley and 3 points off automatic promotion. It can come down to an error or two made by individual players. And of course within their squad they’ll have a range of ability with their better players the ones we’ve signed or are looking to sign.
Not that I have a problem with signing Swindon's best 11 or any decent league 2 player but..
Devils advocate time:
Our squad last season was considered mid to bottom half table, a squad that was predominantly made up of the players that finished the previous season just outside the playoffs, on goal difference.1 -

Last season’s team lost the five Cafc43v3r mentioned which added goals, pace and quality to our team (even if they weren’t at the level of those I mentioned above).1 -

Still time for another signing today right? Maybe a free agent from Swindon?5

I'd love McKirdy he seems a right character and a half decent footballer to boot.2

Jury out on McKirdy. He's a wind up merchant (wanker), would be a gamble getting him in. I'm not sure he would fit in with the squad, and has only had one very good season so far.
Payne and/or Reed would be excellent.7 -

McKirdy only has had 1 good season so I hope he’s not an Ajose
hiwever his temperament and playing style sounds a bit like Craig Bellamy…..still yet to decide if that’s a positive or not 😀3 -

Indeed I would argue having someone like him is exactly the sort of person we need. A massive complaint last year from many section of fans was how they felt no connection to any of the players, and I imagine McKirdy is the exact sort of person to remedy this, all whilst getting into other clubs heads.
Granted it all depends on if he is talented enough and with MK Dons and Portsmouth apparently in for him then clearly others think he is.0 -
Nixon confirms we’re after the entire Swindon squad.8

In fact he was OK there 3 times but not elsewhere.0 -
Just curious as I've only seen his highlights; apart from the annoying hair, what else does he do that so winds people up, and how do some of you know about these antics?1

I don't necessarily mind a player with a chip on their shoulder.0 -

Friend of mine knows him, apparently he is mad as a box of frogs but a good egg when you know him

Think we could do with a bit more edge / personality in the team - last summer's signings swung too far into the nice boy zone11

Like all "mavericks" he just wants to be loved, Garner obviously knew how to handle and treat him to get the best out of him.0 -

Just wondering if we could offer Swindon a Davison/DJ job lot2

Thanks for the McKirdy bits.0
-
DJ strikes me, admittedly one of his small fanclub, as someone Garner could have quite a lot of use for1
