A good window made possible by the sale of Esse. He was and will be important to us as we sign younger prospects - they speak to him and he gives us glowing reports. We have to thank him for that and for the platform he has given us to be able to invest in the squad.
If I am being critical, I would’ve liked us to sign a right back on loan. And a box to box midfielder, we are crying out for that in my opinion.
I don’t think we should be in a rush to push Tanganga out the door in the summer. There will be interest, no doubt, but I can’t see him moving to a yo-yo team. By all accounts I heard he was not bothered by the interest from SUFC.
We are building a good dynamic team. The summer will be important as our defence needs revamping. Cooper and Tanganga make a decent partnership but I can’t help but think Crama will outshine Cooper when given the chance.
Bryan and Leonard will be 31 this year I think, both a bit injury prone and we should be looking to replace them.
As for the countless forwards we have signed, I can’t help but wonder what we will do with all of them? The likes of Baker, Lovelace and Matthews would probably benefit from being loaned out. However they now can’t, so face 6 months of being in the reserves?
