I don't want trialist! I wan't players with experience and create more competition inside the team.

But realistically speaking, we would need to sign almost another full roster for that, as for most positions we barely have one competent player available.   Consider right FB - we signed Tratt (hopefully) and he'd have that position for himself, as Fenton is likely to play further forward in his favoured pre-Ernie spot on the right wing.   Rufer is unlikely to compete for that spot.

Similarly, while Singh might do well enough on the left wing to give Burns something to think about, he is still young and needs to be given a bit of room to grow and avoid injury.  Similarly, Cacace is an understudy to Doyle, not a challenger.

The exception might be centre of attack as both Nicholls and Williams could play there competing with Krishna. But Nicholls is probably more of an AM than CF, unless someone wants to correct me on this.

But realistically speaking, what positions would you like competition inside the team to be for?  

I assume Tratt is signed  - then there is a competion with Tratt for that playing spot, although I expected Louie to move forward to his pre-Ernie spot on the right wing. Nicholls and Williams are more of central players, and would likely compete with Krishna.  If we sign anyone else to create competition inside the team, you would have to target the left wing in order to give Burns something to think about.
