My question would be: is proven at this level good enough? and is he better than Sheehan? if the answer to either of these is no, then why are we in for him?

Because it's a squad game and there's no way Sheehan can manage every game. Plus with Maghoma gone our already lacking midfield is a player down.

Faced with banked defences as we often will be next season finding a replacement for Maghoma and possibly someone else with the technical ability to open doors for us is a priority. Maybe that's what Evatt sees in Randall?

is the greek fella not a maghoma replacement?

True but Wembley shows that you need more than one option.

Sort of, but I'm not sure we're going like for like and I think we need more to open up defences. If anything I see "the greek fella" as more of a Dempsey type player. Also think that if we were going to replace Sheehan who has been playing as a 6 recently we'd be looking for a playmaker who can defend better than Sheehan and I'm not sure Randall can do that. Hard to know what's going on in the mind of Evatt et al, especially as they alluded to having more tactical flexibility this year (or plan A 2.0 as he referred to it)

All will be revealed.

In the BN "seeking VFM" article there was also a suggestion that money may be available for January signings depending on where we're at then so who knows how we'll start the season?

I’ve no idea. Seems more of a forward player than a cm too me

Yup - been playing up top and at 10 - so an additional striker?

If Vic goes - and maybe even Dan....

[VividDreamer]

Sheehan out, Randall in. Simple

Similiae type player except Randall excels in big games and is a lot younger

I had the Greek down as more a Collins / Gomes type player

Randall strikes me as an alernative to Magohma with 12 goals and 10 assists from midfield

to sit alongside Sheehan

and that midfield bastard we're yet to sign

once we sign one of them, we can take a look at WBs

Or a midfielder taller than 5'9"

Shola Shoretire apparently leaving MUFC on a free despite being offered a contract.

Doubt there would be any takers on here (me included) but it saddens me when potential isn't realised and he certainly had potential if not much else.

Still only 20 and easily meets the 5'9" criterion

Think you will find the kid from Crawley can play several roles 1 being DM he likes getting stuck in  I have been told .

In other news, i noticed sonny perkins left leeds for orient

Ill keep half an eye on that one

Could be a belting signing

He was on loan at Oxford last season but hardly played so Leeds recalled him.

Used to be at Orient as a kid so seems a logical move.

Dubem eze signed from Norwich for b team 19 years old attacking midfielder

Many teams gone up have had players who can handle themselves, the term midfield bastard doesn’t mean some kind of stig Tofting it’s just a player who won’t be shoved about and who can do the dark arts

Agree but not what I’d class a midfield bastard. As radders Stig is exactly what I think for a midfield bastard
