I'm cautiously optimistic about these free transfers and 1.5m signings. It would be nice to get a bit of what Moyes bought to the club back, ie a bit of fight and spirit.
We've truly lacked this over recent times as the 40m and 20m plus players think they should, and usually were regulars on the team sheet by default. These new lads will fight for a right to play and Rafael will have no hesitation in using them. Fighting for your place makes you fight on the pitch to keep your place, having players in the team and on the bench who are only there because they were expensive or have no competition is not the way to go......as proven.
