He's very highly rated. Pereira and Castagne are brilliant full backs, plus they have James Justin, so I'm not concerned he couldn't break through. Interesting read here: https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/spor ... on-6125948

My view on Vontae Daley-Campbell.

A gamble but an extremely low risk gamble.

He was only on £2.3k at Leicester and released last week so is free - so it is likely to be a very economical signing.

Quick and strong and an excellent pedigree with Arsenal, Leicester and England U19's.

A decent loan spell in Scotland. Although an awful red card!

Another ambitious player looking to make a name for himself.

Over to him and the coaches to bring him through!

Drameh can't play every game, good to have competition for every place

My friend is cardiff fan but lives in Dundee now and watches them .he says

" Cracking little right back, raw but has bags of potential. he's quick, direct, reads game well and can cross, with right guidance should do well. Was one of very few positives to come out of dundees season"

Agreed, I don't think you can rule Drameh out yet. If he doesn't get assurances from Leeds on game time then he'll be off and we then throw our hat in the ring.

What we all have to remember is that in this window we will have to sign back-up and squad players as well as first choice due to the numbers of players leaving.

I still think that the main quality players (probably loans from Prem) may well be the last pieces of the jigsaw. So far I think Alnwick and Adams are the only automatic first teamers (possibly Tanner too) so watch this space ...................

Of course, if Bale signs that may speed things up as we become a much more attractive proposition for Prem clubs looking to develop youngsters.

I know next to nothing about him but welcome aboard :bluebird:

It's another young, hungry player.

Also worth pointing out that he could be seen as a squad player initially, so doesn't rule out the chance of Drameh returning.

Loans from Premier League clubs aren't likely to be done until from mid July up to the end of August. This is after the Premier League clubs have had time to assess their players on pre-season tours.



But it's another signing and good to see us make six before pre-season has even begun.

This will be 100% Morison's team and he will live or die depending on how we do.

Just watched his red card. Surprised he wasn't charged for assault! He was about half an hour late booting their player into another stratosphere!

The rest of your write up sounds promising though. I'm loving Morison's criteria when looking at players, focussing on pace, power, energy and athleticism.
