Strange one. Fasan hasn't look a bad replacement for Alnwick so far. This lad has 9 professional appearances to his name by the looks of things. So unless Fasan has gone back to to Celtic or is injured this seems an odd one.

 

Can only think he's been on trial and impressed, but surely we need centre halfs or strikers?

Goalkeepers on the payroll (vying for 1 position):

 

Fasan

Boot

Johnson

Pickering

Slinn

Mehmet

 

Centre backs on the payroll (vying for 2 positions):

 

Smith

Streete

Knops

 

We are a laughing stock.

 

To be fair to the keeping situation, Johnson probably isn't good enough and will leave in the summer (plus he might still be out on loan I'm not too sure on that one). Boot isn't ready yet, which probably means that Pickering and Slinn aren't either.

 

Therefore we have one very unexperienced loanee keeper. I don't see the problem in this signing. Hopefully he's as good as some say.

 

I agree though we desperately need one or two centre halves.

Johnson isn't in contention. Loan rules mean he cannot be recalled so it's technically five. Of those I guess Slinn and Pickering are very much for the future and not in serious contention.

 

So, I guess it is whether the new signing is better than Fasan or Boot. Having seen his one appearance I am not sure that Ryan is quite ready yet (may be in the future though) and may need a bit more time. In which case the new guy is challenging Fasan and/or quality back-up for him.

 

In an ideal world a new centre-half should be brought in but if there are none available, there are none available (and that's not offering any excuses for messing up getting one in January - it's simply where we are now). In the meantime, just because we are short in one area doesn't mean we shouldn't strengthen another if the chance to do so comes around.
