Subject: [LU] new signings
If the Nicholls transfer goes through (he needs to pass medical etc) It
will in effect mean that in midfield, our most worrying area, we have
changed the largely ineffective Miller and Douglas
for Livermore and Nicholls both of whom have a decent
reputation at this level. Add to that the supposed pace and
trickery of Carole and the return of Steve Stone plus a fit Erik
Bakke (if he stays) and the option of Joel Griffiths and suddenly we have
options and a reasonable looking engine room at this level.
Hopefully this will give KB the belief and confidence to play 4 4 2
and allow us to see the best out of the permutations of Cressy \ Hulse \
Beckford \ Healy \ Blake whilst still giving cover to a mainly slow and
cumbersome defence that despite what we thought on paper did do well last
season and which could be strengthened by the additions Foxe and Eliiott if
either \ both prove they are up to the job.
so whilst there is noting to get over excited about I reckon KB is doing
a decent job in the transfer market given our financial and other
constraints
Can't wait for season to start now
