The Signings
Sam Hewson- The former Manchester United midfielder is a product of their academy who was a very hot prospect in his younger days, due to an amount of injuries and loans where he did not play and even a lack of faith from Sir Alex Ferguson, he will be essential in the midfield
Lewis Grabban- A very skilled striker or can be deployed as a winger, his pace is frightening, he will cause problems for full backs all across this great league.
Jo Kuffour- Someone that as a Bristol Rovers fan Joe Hulbert knows a lot about, he is a speedy striker who knows how to finish, important to the success of the club in general
Abdou Dieye- A striker who is highly rated by the scouts of Kidderminster, Hulbert tried to sign him last year but was unsuccessful due to him wanting to move to another French club, he is a lethal finisher, however he lacks the key pace needed for the first team, maybe he will start
Chris Mavinga- A defender who joins me for the 3rd year in a row, a signing who will again for the 3rd time be absolutely essential to me, i will need him to be a rock like he has been in previous seasons for me
Dorian Leveque- Not much to say here, i signed him as backup to people like Antoniol, Davis and Hewson, nothing more than a squad player
Kristian Timar- A defender who has suffered on the benches of championship clubs for years, he will mainly be backup but is a very good option with some nice heading on him, good at corners.
Paul Hartley- By far the best signing by Joe Hulbert, he has won the SPL numerous times with Celtic, and he has championship and champions league experience with Bristol City and Celtic respectively, a lethal passer and he works his socks off aswell, could be the new Antoniol.
Marcus Allback- He is old but will give vital experience and a great finishing attribute to the club, he knows his way around with over 40 caps for Sweden, including 3 world cup appearances
Alseny Camara- I signed this Guinean defender because he plays all up the left and at center back, he could be very important for us as a utility man at the back, a good acquisition.
Joe McKee- A former Burnley and Livingston youngster, he joined the club on a free, he will add a bit of youth to the side ahead of all the experience like Allback and Hartley coming in, he will develop into a good player
Andy Frampton- a solid defender who has played in league 1 for his whole career, the former Millwall hardman will know how the strikers in this league play and may be able to help stop the more dangerous ones.
Barry Nicholson- a midfielder who has also played in the Europa League and the championship, he is a good passer which i love to have in my midfield, he may drive Davis out of the team
Jake Buxton- a defender who sadly was backup at Derby, hopefully he can play in the first team, mind we have a big squad now
Cody Arnoux- A former everton youngster, the American still has more potential and may turn into a big player for the club, he knows what hes doing, he has a good first touch and knows how to finish, what else does he need?
Eric Addo- an awesome signing, he has spent his whole career in the Dutch Eredivisie, with clubs such as PSV, Roda JC and Vitesse Arnhem all in his biography, he can play Center back, Defensive midfielder, and center midfielder, he may be very important this year
Roy O Donovan- Nothing more than backup for us, he has some good experience with sunderland and Ipswich, may be a good impact player because of his foot skills
