Right side

Slight exaggeration, there.

I genuinely believe it. It's disgusting going into yet ANOTHER new season with Hibbert as our top right back and NO right sided midfielder in the squad. Terrible management by Moyes.

Pranjic + Pienaar aren't signing. Naismith maybe, depending on his medical.
LCAB has said as much.

agreed. Hibbert + Coleman are embarrassments

Coleman is OK, but not good enough to play RW for us and probably as bad at defending as Hibbert. At least he is young and can improve. Hibbert is just garbage. Must have caught Moyes and Neville in a compromising position years ago to have kept his position in the team.

The fact that our best right winger is Leon Osman - a tiny, slow central midfielder - says it all.

You honestly would willing swap our four right sided players (Coleman, Osman, Hibbert and Neville) with the four from Barnsley, Bristol City, Peterborough, Forest, Huddersfield and Sheffield Wednesday?

LCAB has said Pienaar's not signing?

he hasn't said anything of the like, nor did he say anything about Pranjic not signing.

Erm, no he hasn't at all...

For a start, LCAB has always said that Pienaar will 100% sign, he swears by it.

Secondly, when he said "Pranjic unlikely" he was responding to the question that somebody asked, "will he sign before pre-season?".

Changy is ITK.

Donovan may sign and some people seem to be forgetting that Barkley can play right mid. He is likely to get a lot more minutes next season.

Why by a right sided player when we can buy left siders or just play central midfielders there?

10 more years please Davey.

Don't forget defenders there as well.

Of course if Stevie wonder was our manager he'd of seen the impact drenthe had on our team last year and be on the look out for a similar type player for our right hand side.

But not Moyes. No, I don't know for sure that he isn't but history tells anyone with any sense whatsoever that he won't address our problems on the right hand side.

Does anyone else think we may actually start a season with a better squad then the last for once?

i am going to go on record and say that at least one time in our history we have started a season with a better squad than one that finished the previous season

in all seriousness, it does seem very likely we will have a better squad than what finished last season, mcfadden being off the bill could do that single handedly though.
