I loved Mackie, but the lad was done. Woodburn had real potential but had a bit part role for a dozen games. Kelly barely played, but is likely to return anyway. So the only player of any note that we've lost is Marcus Browne, who played a dozen or so games.
Cooper is unknown at this level, like Whyte and Sykes before (and you labelled them as wannabes!!), but he comes highly rated with more games under his belt than either had when they signed. McGuane is also unknown at this level, but Arsenal, Barcelona, Notts Forest and England have all seen enough to give him a chance. And, with all due respect, I trust their opinions more than yours. Finally, Asonganyi has barely played since a nasty injury. But only a couple of years ago he was been watched by the top clubs in the country. He needs to get fit and get games, but even you must be excited by the prospect of him reaching even half of his potential. And of our players, Hall is apparently fitter and sharper than he's been in years, and that has to be a good thing. Napa is also fully fit, and will be like a new player with something to prove.
So, lots of reasons to be positive, even for someone like you!!
