Stoke realised how bad he was but unfortunately for us he was only on loan and they could send him back. Bolton are stuck with him. They've had Jaaskelainen to enjoy in goal and now they get Baz. They'll realise, in time. It probably won't be a long time, but They'll realise. It's much like the deluded Leicester fans thinking Russell Martin can't be that bad because he got us promoted, without looking at the bigger picture.

I've been on holiday this week so have only been lightly following the news. So we're in a position (currently), going in to the last weekend of the window, where we really only need a back up GK (or have to worry week in week out that Peretz could get injured or suspended and we have to rely on Long. With Baz gone (phew) hopefully that frees up some wages. Ramsdale will go too but even if he doesn't, from a fan perspective I wouldn't mind keeping him for 6 months as back up! Whatever happens I really hope we have a better back up GK by Tuesday than Long. CB obviously depends if THB stays, I just hope we have our contingency plan sorted out if he goes. I see there have been one or two links for other centre backs so that's promising. RB and LB fine. CM fine now with JWP, although he does need to try and replicate the impact we got from Shea as a squad CM. A late big for Jander would not be welcomed... we'd need a good replacement if that happened. RW - wishful thinking we'd upgrade but we have 2 Championship quality players there and I'd give both a chance to prove their worth. There is also the January window if needed. LW - Leo, obviously, but will Edozie stay? , I know Dobbie can play here but I see him as more of an Azaz back up going forwards and if Edozie went, I'd want another, although with Akachukwu breaking through, if he doesn't go on loan then maybe we're going to give him a chance. AM - Azaz and Dobbie are fine, Matsuki can play here too. Striker - Larin obviously number one, it seems the club have a lot of faith in Mubama. Archer is still here too, that's our 3 unless things change in the next 3 days, which is possible as there have been links both in and out. I assume Downs will head out on loan. All in all I don't think we're in bad shape now, but it depends how good Schlotterbeck is (please don't be another Lyanco) and whether JWP can recapture his form after the last few years

If we were in the Prem, we'd be screaming no to this, but we're not, we've signed a reliable player, a set piece merchant, a 100 per cent effort, ex Saint, squad player (assuming Jander and Downes are oir number 1 CMs) for the same price we got Bree to play Championship football, on a two year deal. He won't set the world alight but for under a million you can't say this is a bad deal. I would like a midfield enforcer overall, a Wanyama type, in amongst them but Jander, Downes, JWP and Bragg is a pretty decent CM for a Championship promotion push.

When he scores his first goal on his return, and kisses the badge, I may have to grab some onions so I have an excuse.

If memory serves we wanted him when he was available on a free a few years ago. Surprised our scouting system still has him in it if so.

Where's Roerslev going?

Welcome Kevan. We can hope you're as good as Fonte, Van Dijk or Alderwereld, or your brother, but as long as you're as good as Jos Hooiveld we'll be ok.

I had an inkling we'd be in for him. Squad filler, no more than that.

Plus if we sell THB it keeps our double barrelled name quota up.

On the basis that Downes and Jander are our first choice CMs, and will remain so after the window closes, then JWP and Bragg will be fine as back ups. I was a fan of JWP, I think he tried hard even when things went against us and his dead balls were key for us in the Prem, but while i know he is not the same player, I think in the Championship he still has something to offer and he would be comfortable here. Would I prefer better? Sure. But SR love an old boy returning, and he fits that. Depends on the cost though.

Does he spray wayward passes across the pitch that go to an attacking player for them to score? Probably not. Upgrade on Jack then. A low bar has been set amongst our CBs. I'm hoping he's more Jos Hooiveld than Danny Seaborne.

Probably just as well we didn't partner him with Anel then.

I'm going to pretend I'm ITK and say that you pronounce his name Key-ven not Kev-en so that people wrongly start following suit. 😎 Edit- might help my credibility if I typed it right.

Signed his brother Nico a few times on FM, who is excellent. I know nothing of Kevin apart from the fact he's probably the shit brother if we're signing him. Still, a CB. Can't be worse than what we have.... right!?

God we need some signings. 😎
