If not, who then?

Not sure I’d welcome any of the Bumley players either.
Unless it’s relegation experience that we’re looking for?

All are fighters and well versed in the kind of lower-table squabble we might well be in next season. the fact we survived (by the skin of our teeth), is hardly grounds for expecting us to replicate our first season.

To be specific amongst those, Taylor is a world away from what we have at present. He may well have left ER under a cloud, but if he was man enough to accept a reasonable offer I for one would like to se what he can do for us (lot's of supporters were enraged when we took on Diouf, but he became something of a fan favourite in his short stay at ER, so it can be done).

As for the observation from Tich regarding Olise, yes he was in a poor Reading side, but still managed to net 7 times in his final season there, and has continued with 4 in all competitions last season (if only our midfielders could replicate that). Why was Viera prepared to take a punt on him (at £8.7m!!)? Perhaps he saw what Leeds didn't, or didn't look to start with, having "settled" on the likes of James (at 3x the cost and exactly the same number of goals last season)?
