I think Mani was definitely an investment for the future. Harrison surprised me. But look what happened to Cheltenham without him! It did give us some relatively cheap shots at replacing Doyle's goals.

The youngsters need a bridge to get to the first team - youth football develops skills, but they need to test themselves against men. It helps if, when you have injuries, you bring in a young player of your own rather than loan in a Premiership development player (and do the job the teams with the big rewards should be doing for English football).

I think Morsy has to go for himself. Roberts, well if he wants to go, I'd be after Maghoma from the Wols big time. We certainly need another defender, a young defender. And I'd like to see a keeper to replace Chapman who has had time to prove he can reach the standard. No one doubts his ability, but a reserve keeper who is never fit is not even an ornament. And yes I'd try to sign an experienced striker, but he has to be cheap ...... because I'm still hoping Armand might lead our line.

Well the reserve team is coming back Dev so the budget must be getting increased slightly instead of being cut or being the same. Yes I agree we could do with a 3rd keeper but there's that young keeper who replaced Tommy in the Sheff Utd match when he got sent off so he could be a backup choice if he plays regularly in the youth team/ Reserve team. 

I would like Margreitter here again. He was a good centre back. Experienced striker Craig Davies? Eidur Gudjohnsen? Emile Heskey? Michael Tonge? Gary Madine? Leon Clarke? All very good names.
