Surely one of the main uses of a fans forum in the close season is to speculate and make predictions / comments about signings and potential signings, it’s all about differing opinions, we have little knowledge of the players currently signed but it’s fun to speculate.

I agree with TLG that Alnwick looks the least risky so far, based on previous experience , players from the Scottish premiership can make solid Championship players.

I like what I’ve read about Adams so far, always positive when you read glowing fan reports but it is a big jump up (Solomon Taiwo anyone?)

Collins is a curious one, 25 caps for Nigeria but still playing in Bundesliga 2 at 28 years old? Hard to know the standard of that league, not seen any of the football there but if Glatzel can score 25 goals at that level it suggests it is weaker than the Championship

I had heard previously of Ollie Tanner and his proposed move to Spurs - because of the huge leap in levels it was covered on the local news here on the south coast. I can’t imagine he will go straight into the first team despite what they’re saying and I would imagine he is a very low cost gamble.

It is like Morison is playing Moneyball at the moment , this could of course be very positive but we must also be looking at some players with previous championship experience for the newcomers to this league to learn from, otherwise we could be in for another very long season!
