Barron's not done much as a defensive player (which is what we've been crying out for) but his long passing game has been superb at times. Only problem is there's no point playing a blinder to McKay on the wing when there's no one keeping up enough to be in the box for a cross. We do better playing a short game so Barton has broken things a bit the way I see it. I'd rather get Windass in there when he's fit or use Rossiter instead of Barton rather than alongside him.
Still, I think on paper these signings are still an upgrade on the players they replaced: Gilks for Bell, Kranjcar and Barton for Shiels and Law, Garner for Clark. We needed an experienced CB and got Hill (not that you'd know he had any experience the way he's played), and we definitely didn't need a sick note like Templeton.
