personally I want no "loaners" from Saracens. That would be too hypocritical.

When Sam Hammam owned Wimbledon FC he wanted to avoid relegation and keep the team mid-table without spending huge amounts on superstars to maximise profit.
I think MSQ has gone the same way. I hope l am proved wrong.

They don’t like it up ‘em.

In announcing signings it makes PR sense to start with the least impressive and work up to your biggest news. I will hold my judgement until we have the full picture.

Getting the hang of this..

Realistic ambitions.

1. Stay in top flight
2. Entertain
3. If in the Parker Pen reach a minimum of a semi-final
4. Finish in top six
5. Get out of European Cup group.
6. Finish in top 4 at least every other year.
7. Win play-offs.

If its confirmation of the rumour turncoat May is ucoming back i for one will no be impressed,we have good finishing wingers younger and maybe quicker we have with DC a maverick who others struggle to keep up with when he attacks
We need to find new ways to get the ball in our wingers hands going forward not another finusher

I’d be quite impressed with one of the best international wingers in rugby returning.

Only if it’s not at the expense of strengthening the front row, still think we need a strong carrying 12 to punch holes as well.

+ 1 in principle as a player.

However; I don't know that it is a priority position to be recruiting in Gb83 ?.I think we need a 10 , a kicker( whichever position they play ) , a top class Tighthead and a bull at the gate Centre as minimum . Any news on Hudson ?. I liked him playing. Some suggestions his injury is very serious and hopefully not the case ; but if so the club might be considering a specialist full back and maybe one who can also kick ?. Not many of those around unfortunately these days. Akkers seems to like using our two front-line 15's as wingers more often than not. It's not a criticism before I am accused of saying it ;) ; just an observation.
