I'm looking forward to seeing Campbell and Da Silva. Here's hoping they gell in well. Also, we are currently having talks with Peter Crouch. Fulham and us have agreed on fees, and El Roboto will decide between the two.

The major problem with Keane's transfers last year was too many of them at the same time, and too many difficult players at that. I'm not surprised that both Chimbonda and Diouf ended up leaving.
I also think that even (or especially) Trinidad and Tobago fans would admit that Dwight's time has come.
This has to be Carlos Edwards year to step up. If he doesn't he may as well kiss the Premiership goodbye, with or without SAFC.
Campbell may be a good second striker (glad to see we're keeping up the X Man United policy without Keano), but I'm not sure what's the purpose of having both Crouch and KJ on a team. Either one would be too valuable to bench imo, an playing with two big men up top seems like a recipe for disaster.
I believe we need the spark in attacking midfield - a creator.

I have a feeling that if we see both Kenwyne and Peter on the same team we will see team tacticts switch to a more wingplay system. More balls played into the side, more pressure on Kieran, Steed, Andy, and Carlos to get balls into the box. If they can, the combo of those two could put them away.

In that case, we'd better recruit at least one wingers as well. As far as I see it, Malbranque is the only one of those four who has what it takes, now

He did well today when Catts came off with Injury. Two amazing results for the lads, drawing Man Utd. at Old Trafford and beating liverpool at home. A little red balloon never hurt anyone!
