Crikey - on paper that's one hell of a signing. For me, our most exciting signing yet!
Certainly a much needed pick me up after the disappointment on Sunday!

How many signings is that now? I think we’ll see 1 or 2 leave this week as well.

With Luke Thomas and Sam Nicholson does this mean we are genuinely looking at strength in depth on the flanks?
Just wondering how they fit in. In my mind we are just short of a right back and a more experienced front man from a first choice starting XI, plus one or two more as cover.

Adding Alex Rodman to your list above suggests we will have more cover than last season out wide. We suffered with Nicholson and Rodman's injuries last season.

Probably our most exciting signing so far! On paper this has got to be one of the best signings in the league.
With a 20 goal striker I’d be feeling very excited all of a sudden

Hopefully it does not mean that Nicholson will be leaving. We still have Rodman as well, who brings experience and was one of our better players towards the end of the season. Plus Walker is breaking through.

Loving this one, optimism on the up for me. Still want to see if it clicks to be a strong team but getting good impression of what JB looking to do. Not having seen last seasons team break a sweat in real life means it’s even harder to judge what we’re adding to. Looking forward to watching team build on the pitch

I think Joey needs to take the '24 year olds only' filter off of his search crteria, we must be missing out, only signing players who fit that.

Sounds good.... Is he left or right sided? Bit personal isn't it?

Crikey - on paper that's one hell of a signing. For me, our most exciting signing yet! Certainly a much needed pick me up after the disappointment on Sunday! Averages about 5/6 goals a season and 4/5 assists so I wouldn't quite go that far. Should help ensure we are competitive though which has to be the initial aim next season.

Stats for Ayunga and Hanlan? That's not wanting to start an argument, genuinely interested.

Look forward to Harry flying down the wing before picking out our new number 9, or smashing one into the top corner ,all to the sound of ARRY,ARRY, ARRY,ARRY, ringing round the ground , wonder if he would mind if we changed it to Arold! perhaps not ,theres only one Arold!

Joey Barton has without doubt done a great job so far at balancing the squad up between attacking and defending. I am still hoping we will see a couple of right backs to enable us to play four at the back and also a centre forward who can score goals-if we get this I feel we will have the most exciting team we have had for years.. I honestly feel that only Annsi and Nicholson will be good enough for a starting place by the time the season starts. Hanlan may also be in the running for a start. It is very noticeable that JB has added a lot of pace and experience to the side which we sadly lacked last season. I see at least two more signings who will start in the first game and there will only be a few spaces in the squad for last seasons players which is good.
