Danny would still be scratching his arse for another few weeks.
I fail to see why the speed of the signings is that important. What is important is that they are better then the players they are replacing so we need ..
Norris to be better then Macey (verdict : possibly, but about the same on paper except we knew Macey fitted in)
Shaughnessy to be better than Robertson (verdict : unlikely, but at least he will be hopefully be more available )
Saydee to be better than Reeco (verdict : based on his Havant appearance not in a million years)
Devlin to be better than Tunnicliffe or Thompson (verdict : not yet, but probably better potential).
It's easy to get excited when we sign players but is the squad better than last year's ? Not yet, but there are plenty more signings to come.
Personally I think it's a given Shaugnessy is better than Robertson who was very poor imo. Same goes for Tunni, Devlin comes with a decent reputation with championship clubs after him.
Not sure about Saydee, never saw him @ Havant but Shrews fans seem to think he was decent. Keeper had a mare 2nd leg play off game. Hopefully that was a one off. Jamo had a few mares over the years but still was an amazing keeper.
It’s hard to be a keeper when the other 10 players also have a mare!
