News today after much speculation that we have signed left-sided midfielder, Danny Hollands from League One Play-Off finalists AFC Bournemouth and unknown midfielder Bradley Pritchard from Hayes and Yeading.
Hollands is what I would consider an above-average signing and could be better than anything we currently have, although my suspicion is that this might be a pre-cursor to the departure of Semedo and/or Racon. Surprisingly, this move is still being spoken about as a "big money" move and "life-changing" for Hollands. I take that with a pinch of salt but he has obviously been persuaded to join us, so I am guessing we are prepared to pay.
Pritchard, on the other hand, is already being described by Chris Powell as a development player, so we shouldn't expect to see him featuring for some time at least.
Two in by the end of May is a good start.....

Apparently he has tripled his salary by coming to us. No a good omen if we are to keep the players hungry for success. Compacency seems to have been the biggest threat to success within our squad for years.
