I am losing count, if you include McBride, Dunlop, Bailey and Mann that is 11 midfield players we have, and that is not counting Edwards, Burgess and Oscar Kelly.
I may sound like a broken record, but we cannot start the season with only 2 CD's, all we need is an injury or suspension and we could be in trouble. I must admit that I expected that trialist striker 'Lepado' to be announced if I am honest.
Big Mac signs a Burger….. This totally reinforces my belief that we’re going three at the back next season. Stop the crosses rather defend them. Another defender on the books would be nice admittedly.

Burger looks like a very promising player. We've certainly cast the net a bit further south in this window!
We were woefully short in midfield last season, that looks to have been addressed. Realistically we have four central midfielders now in Gilmour, East, Henry & Burger. McBride is an attacking midfielder/winger, the others are kids who will barely feature. Edwards looks the closest to challenging for a place in the squad.
You're sounding like a Steps record stuck on repeat, I wish it was a broken record. Just STFU with the same shite for christs sake. McNulty will be very aware of the CB situation. It's really not difficult to spell Ladapo.

Why are you counting three players who haven't even appeared in pre-season, as far as I can see, plus one who has appeared once?
When I was your age, I used to enjoy the odd game of tennis. Or was it golf?

Further to this, tweets about Burger suggest he's much more an attacking midfielder than central. The Vanarama account says no attacking midfielder averaged more touches in the opposition penalty area per 90 mins than Burger.

Because we've got 217 midfielders but only 2 centre backs. I don't know if anybody has mentioned? Especially to McNulty. Might be worth including it in a programme in case he reads it.

....It's a very Southern one. I hope we are not going to be franchised away to some far flung Surrey town. (Or where ever the Ogdens live) I see evil plots in everything Dale related these days :-)
The worm of time turns not for the cuckoo of circumstance.
I wonder how much input Sam Beckwith had into this signing. They both came through the Luton Ranks from an early age, so i am guessing may have played together several times....

In his interview he talks about talking with Sam Beckwith before he signed & asking him about the club etc.
