Why do you need a marquee signing?

Do you even own a marquee?

You mean that L1 and L2 clubs don’t have to count any u21 players, loanee or not, (nor of course goal keepers).
Championship clubs do have to count any loanees, whatever age, towards their allowed maximum number- which is 25 not 22 like L1 and L2 clubs.

Yes

Thomson-Sommers intrigues me straight away. Never heard of him before your scoop but his profile and titbits on Youtube - Premier League apprentice, articulate, left footed CM, strong, requiring direction, young, OOC - is right up Cook's street. My money is on this being a reliable rumour.

We needed a few last season and got them, pivotal to our success. The step up won't be the cake walk some think it will be, County very good team have struggled.

Don't own a marquee but my shirt could probably house a circus act or two.

Noticed him last night and was thinking he looked decent - then his name pops up on here. He's got a bit of fire in his belly too. Was getting really stressed with the ref

Struggling to get my head round the ‘incoming’ Drummond. Seemingly playing as a central striker, only third highest scorer for Macc, in a ieague 3 tiers below where we will be next season.

In Cook we trust is my mantra though.

Yeah, doesn't float my boat, but what do I know ? I thought we were chasing the lad from Gatehead, loan player from derby Was his name Brown ? Looks a better prospect.

Slightly off subject, what are the restrictions when it comes to the profile of the squad for next season?

Brown, for me, fits into our squad as an U21 player and is a different type of striker to the other two on our books. Derby County haven’t done us many favours in recent years but a season long loan could be good for all 3 parties concerned.

The fact that Thomson-Sommers is apparently left-sided could mean he would complement any one of our defensive midfielders as they all seem to prefer the right side. He’s young legs and could add some mobility in that department. He is over 21 though and would, as such, be included in the squad of 22. I do wonder if we might look for a bit more experience in this key position rather than a back-up player.

However, I know nowt about Drummond but can’t say I’m sold on this one. It’s a big step up and for an unproven player who would form part of our squad of 22.

Dunno. I think they all have to be male.
