Brian Barry Murphy : “ We will be adding “

Mon Jul 14, 2025 11:56 am

Murphy has so far seen 12 players leave and not one come in, the only side in the League.

BBM:

"So we are very excited by what we have in the building, but we all want to be ambitious to move the club forward in every department.”

"Adding quality, rather than quantity, that is what we will be doing, you will only see quality players coming in.”

I've said before that I honestly don't think we need that much.

A few bits of quality to top up the squad of course, but there is the core of a strong squad for this league.

Quality over quantity is definitely the right approach. In years gone by we have stacked the squad with has beens and thankfully those days are gone.

Experience in central defence and midfield I would suggest. Hard b@stards who can get grip of a game. Winger and left back would be handy too.

Can definitely see a defender and winger coming in. Some of it will be experience, some it will be young loanees.

Love the term used "Has Beens", that will send a few temperatures rising :bluebird: I like his tone and attitude :bluebird:

Adding quality instead of quantity is exactly what we need.

I know certain individuals disagree with me, but I believe that without a few new QUALITY signings, I don't think we have a strong enough squad for promotion.

It remains to be seen who these quality signings will be!

These players got us relegated without any kind of a fight, thats what worries me. Maybe it will be different under this manager. Midfield needs looking at. What we have left are mostly soft, luxury players who don't like getting their kit dirty.

League 1 / League 2

Experienced players we need say 3

A leader

We need a keeper, couple of defenders, at least two stronger midfielders. Imo.

Sadly we are all in limbo at whats going on at the top and we have cleared out a big chunk of the squad, we are obviously not going to bring in a lot judging by what the new manager has said ,
quality over quantity but we have lost 3 quality players in ramsey ralls o' dowda and the amount of games they played does not come into it,
it should be quality for quality is what is needed, so we will see what murphy means when he says quality in the coming days or weeks but I wish he and the club would get a shift on the season is upon us.
