He may be decent cover but it’d be reassuring if we started signing some players under 25 that could not only potentially get in our first XI now but also potentially be able to step up a level.
 
Here is a mental idea... why don’t we all watch him then form an idea
I promulgated a similar hypothesis some time since, as a consequence of which I was subjected first to the ducking stool, then to peine forte et dure & finally to the bronze bull, before I was blinded & cast beyond the walls of the citadel, from where I now spin my meagre yarn of lament....

I would class Dobson and O'nien as that. How old is Willis? That Sammut lad supposedly look ok in preseason.

Yep. Dobson and O’Nien would be close to that category. Though neither will be first choice if we have a full selection of available and I’m doubtful O’Nien would be decent in the leagues above. Can’t comment on Dobson really yet. Looks like he has decent passing ability and range which gives him a chance. Most other signings have been horses for courses IMO rather than anything linked to the long term. What that means is likely high player turnover if we go up. That’s caused us bother for a long time now
 
Not sure why, but this signing has a bit of a Marc Wilson feel to it.

Experienced pro who should be a half decent signing, but turns out to be absolutely dogshit. Hardly has the most glowing of recommendations from his previous club either.

It's the risk you take signing young players who haven't played above league one level I suppose. We should have enough for promotion imo so it will be interesting to see if these new owners bring anyone in on the scouting side. My only worry if Donald is staying will be that he will continue to trust Coton and Hill. However if they have a different budget that might help. As for going up I'd expect us to have a high turnover of players regardless as most of the squad are out of contract in the summer.
 
Whilst I'd rather we signed someone that could develop with us O'Nien, Dobson, Hume, Gooch, Embleton and Willis are all pretty young and need a few seasoned pro's around them so no problem with this signing.
