So Hurst wants a squad of 25 including the 3 youngsters and. Andy Warrington.  According to the Telegraph he has 12 so far plus those four, leaving 9 to come in.

The question is, has he signed the best ones yet or are the best still to come.

My hope but also my hunch is that the best are still to come.  I have two reasons for this.  The better players will have more options to look at and have more negotiating power and as league players may have contracts to 30 June.

Also, every player he signs needs to believe they have a chance at 1st team football.  If you see a couple of top people signed in your position you may realise you are being signed for the bench.  This doesn't apply in every position because we probably have all the central defenders now but quite likely elsewhere.  I think this is why it was hard to get a decent 4th striker last season because once the season started it was hard to see how anyone coming in would dislodge Podge, JPP and Bogle for a regular spot.

Anyway - hope I'm right!  Could be an exciting squad.

I hope he best are yet to come. Trust PH implicitly but I am slightly underwhelmed so far and hoping for some real quality. Ben Davies would be a great start

Sam slocombe out of contract I believe? He would surely be one to push mckeown for the number 1 spot, we can't go all season with Warrington as number 2 can we?

We won't have a back up keeper I'm pretty sure about that . There's still the emergency loan rule for keepers I believe so if there was a problem with Macca we would probably use that , wouldn't be suprised to see AW in pre-season to . Fox
