First of all mcdonnell must have gone and getting two players on his salary is good business. I also think crookes will go.

We onky have two fit wingers at the moment, stark isnt ready and not sure he will ever be, I dont like moving players out of position, but I would have though it would have been better to have moved Arundel.

To be honest the misfit signings we have made have looked good so far, he is coming for the right reason.

Welcome to the club liam.

Even by Rovers standards, he's a poor winger. No pace, and extremely fragile under the high ball. Those are my recollections of his stop-start Rovers career. He copped a broken jaw in Catalans in his 2nd year and never looked to have recovered his confidence until he left. I can't imagine how he can force his way into your side.

Quantity over quality it seems.

Have to be honest, I'm hoping we never have to see him play!

Biggs' wages remain unused for now. But I suspect McDonnell is definitely going to be on his way. You've got cover at fb, and SM does not offer the grunt and intensity out of the backfield that Radford mentions. Plus it was in the hdm and that.

It is cover if nothing else, as one more injury to our outside backs could cost us, it can go a few ways he could hardly play or if we do get injuries he could come in & do a very good job as he has wing experience, its better then seeing a squad player playing out of position, welcome to FC liam.

Does seem a bit reminiscent of the Kear era when he assembled a massive squad out of some huge fear of injuries.

I know we have Crookes injured & Biggs in limbo, but do we need 5 wingers on the books just to fix a reasonably short term problem? He may not even be needed, surely it would be better to wait and see and give a youngster (Stark?) a go, or even bring in a loan if absolutely necessary?

Good signing will put pressure on Lineham who was poor on Friday,
Stark is not ready for superleague yet.

Biggs' wage doesn't count on the cap.

Good signing for Donny, hopefully.

No offence to Liam, but he's simply not good enough to put pressure on Lineham or Talanoa, he's cover for the worst case scenario.

As for people asking for Arundel to be moved, wing is a specialist position nowadays, a centre pushed out would get targeted just as much as a youngster

Adding Colbon, I doubt will put any pressure on Lineham. Even an off form Lineham will pose a threat to the opposition, unlike Colbon.
Stark may not be fully ready but in reality, without Colbon in the squad, he would unlikely be called up.
