The center backs and Tettey aside, not really.

Both full backs signed prefer to attack rather than defend. Snoddy is a creative winger, Butterfield is a poor man's Wes, Kamara and Becchio are strikers. Bunn a reserve keeper who doesn't improve the starting 11. Please point out anybody I've missed.

Lots of attacking players to be fair.

I don't see how adding three decent defensive players makes us more suited to defending seeing as we finished 12th last season with attacking play.

        It's only proactive if we have somebody decent lined up. That's my point. (n/m) (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Apr 20, 19:55:30
