As you can see its been a relatively good pre season with new signings proving themselves especially
Jose Manuel Mendoza only played 3 games but has 6 goals as well as
Peter Thompson who has 3 in 4. My only concern is the number of goals conceded on the tour of english lower league clubs I need defenders so my youth policy is ditched and I have bids in for
Oscar carmelo Sanchez, Youssef Rossi and Jervis Drummond to partner
Martin Canning in the centre of defence. I am also on the market for a keeper as I feel
Allan Mannus needs competition or an experienced keeper to work with as I dont feel Tony Caig is the man to do it but signing
Keith Branagan as Goalkeeping Coach will help him as my GK training is 5 stars now.
Screenies will be up when I Update but in the meantime any comments criticisms or advice are welcomed.
