Both are better than anyone you currently have at your club in there positions.

Not at their age, Mcilorum offers zero threat, strong defender that's it.

I'd be disappointed with either for next season.

Imagine the outcry had we signed micky mcilorum or kevin naiqama.

Shows how bad the market is.

Do Rovers have an academy?

Naiqama looks it too

Just signed a young hooker from London too, the amount of young players Peters has signed, not given a chance and moved them on.

It's a reflection of the market that Saints have gone in for him.

You can question some of the signings we have made but we have given a number of academy players an opportunity and most of them look more than capable.

Previously championship young player of the year, probably another good signing for them

Can you honestly say that you'd have given all of those academy lads an opportunity if your signings this season hadn't been so garbage?
It's great that there getting games, but it's more out of necessity isn't it?
