So Taffy, thinks it's Steen Jensen then!

Don't worry, I've just brought it back down to the right level.

Leigh Linoleum?

At last some real humour on this thread!

Or maybe it just wasn't that funny? Just saying...

Phew! That means no Max Dilger! Rune Holta would do, though.

Jan Jaros?

Has to be Piszcz!

I'd love to see a fully committed Seb. We've marvelled many a time the way he rides into that 3rd bend when in full flow.

It's difficult with t'Internet, though. Things get leaked so quickly and easily.

Another signed I'm pleased with. His ride to win the Ben Fund meeting was excellent. More of that please!

Nae bother, it wasn't taken that way My reservations are probably not fair at all. I wouldn't complain with him in the team, though.

Being honest, no reason other than gut feeling, probably based on past experience. Probably not a fair assessment, I know.

He looks a lot more attractive on 8.70 right enough. I can't help but feel he is another Gjedde waiting to happen?

Good, but more dream-like than my fantasy team! What reduction for Hansen?

How about this then? Doolan 7.51 Bellego 6.36 Pepe 6.95 Kus 6.19 Alden 7.37 Piszcz 5.10 Carr 3.00 42.48

I'll not go into details! Seriously though, that team could potentially do a bit of damage.

It's not glamorous, but look at the calibre you are always going to have at reserve with it. Come on then, let's hear your dream team.

Doolan 7.51 Bellego 6.36 Vissing 6.89 Kus 6.19 Alden 7.37 Piszcz 5.10 Carr 3.00 42.42 What a team that would be!

I don't do this very often, but here goes with my "dream team": Doolan 7.51 Bellego 6.36 Vissing 6.89 Kus 6.19 Alden 7.37 Stickhauer 4.56 or new 5.00) Carr 3.00 41.88

Here is the potential Matej has. http://youtu.be/mSX3-QWTDpU Hopefully we'll see this realised this season

It's encouraging to hear from some that Matej has been getting a bit of form and confidence recently. Believe it or not, I'm in agreement with Screm, it is now up to the management of him to make sure he achieves his potential. If he does, then he will be a great signing, if not, well that is just speedway. I think Liam has to be a certainty at number 7, providing it works for him. His results for Edinburgh were very good for such a young lad. That shows he is able to improve, which takes takes and application. I'm all for having him in the team. Watch this, we'll have a team that doesn't excite on paper, but delivers on track. Mark my words!

I have to admit to being unsure about Kus. There is certainly ability there, but I thought he would have developed a lot more than he has. One thing I must say is that I'd have him ahead of Aspegren in the team. We might not sign a team of seat of the pants riders, but then we might sign a team that is successful. I'm still very much looking forward to the start of the season. A switched-onb Seb Alden would be close to one of the top riders in the PL. In the right frame of mind he could easily stick a point on his average.

Back to normal on here again I see, despite some good efforts to have a sensible discussion.

My gut feeling is that Kus wouldn't get above that. Never can tell though. He's definitely got something about him, maybe Berwick's the place to bring it out.
