    But I am happier with Geads and O9 re- signing than either Pritchard or Evans.

    me too. I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

    In 3 months you might look back at this and wonder how lucky we are to have Pritchard mind.

    I get the impression that Evans, at least, might be intended to give us a bit more strength in depth. Pritchard too to some extent. I think the exciting signings will come later.

    This. I've got a feeling we'll be spending money...

    I am going for a positive spin. I reckon those are the best 2 signings any L1 club has made so far.

    I reckon all 4 are in the top 10 signings (considering both McGeady and O'Nien are essentially re-signings)

    I’m not sure we’ll be spending much.
    We’ve brought in an Irish international defensive midfielder and a creative midfielder who has spent most of his time in the Championship.
    Good solid signings.
    We’ll get some exciting young loans in and come August we should have a pretty decent side.

    We look to be strong enough in the mid-field area now, its at the back were we need to strengthen imo. Arbenit Xhemajli and Olly Younger could be key players, but we are short of one or two reliable options, even though we have O/9 , I would like to see played in mid-field. Bailey Wright and Flanagan sad to say will not get us into the play-offs never mind the top spots, and they should be our goal this season.

    To be fair 09 was originally 'greeted' like Pritchard and Evans.

    I’m intrigued by Pritchard, it’d make a nice change to see a lads career resurrected with us.
