Vital Reserves Team
I have no doubt that you are right, but players develop and during this training camp he may see something different in a player than he did before.
For instance he will have had little time to assess the likes of Shinnie and McGrath as the focus of training after they signed would have been on preparing players for the games whereas in this camp the focus will be on fitness levels and instilling his beliefs into players.
Shinnie has shown he is a very capable player at Championship level before but has had little opportunity to shine, if over the duration of the camp he shows he is still capable then that is one more position less to fill. The same would apply to McGrath and others within the squad such as Aasgard.
I think the club will have targets in their sights but will be holding off on the approach until Leam has made his mind up on the players he has within the squad.
In addition to Shinnie and McGrath, we also have the likes of Pearce, Kerr, Thelo, Wyke, and Cousins who didn't feature regularly last season (mostly due to injury/health issues) but could very well emerge as more consistent contributors during this campaign.
