Ditto, and I don't think so. I remember him getting pelted by many on here last season despite it being clear just how much ability he has. Credit to Tonda for getting so much out of him.

And only 3 points off 8th.

Yep. I've never got the appeal. I think he's got slack as he's young and homegrown.

M Manning I'd assume.

Agreed re no real alternative, but it's still a negative. Our midfield is very much our weak link. That said, the CB pairing is new and untested, and we can only hope it's an improvement.

Yep. Seems a really solid signing - experienced, pace, size, goals, a leader - What's not to like.

I'd forgotten about phoenix nights. Great shout.

What a daft question. A football pitch isn't a boardroom, classroom, office, building site, etc

Ha! £8m ISH in real money.

I think he's a poor man's Foden who will struggle to make it in the PL, but wouldn't want to drop to the championship. He's over his ACL now and a season long loan somewhere makes sense for him

I'd heard similar, and that he didn't particularly want to go at all, but was told before the season end that he'd be moved on.

I'd have him as long as we also get a more attack minded CM who can carry the ball. Him, Downes and Bragg would be appalling options.

I'd say that's very ambitious! He's a cracking player, and needs to get regular games somewhere. I reckon he'll end up abroad somewhere.

That would be a sensible point if you could guarantee or engineer a free kick in JWP territory. It may not happen in 90 mins, whereas the ball is in open play in every game.

...as an older version of the fairly limited player he was when he was here. Don't get me wrong, I'd take him over Bragg who's a downgrade on Smallbone imo, but we need someone more dynamic who'll carry the ball, and provide a goal threat from open play.

Yep, it's odd AF. Coked up, pissed up, attention seekers, I have no idea which, but whatever is going on is utterly mental.

Just watched it. Wish I hadn't.

Fucks sake. The state of people. Someone drove at my missus last week down the wrong side of the road. She swerved and missed them, but it scared the life out of her. Hope these people are ok.

If THB stays, I agree. If he goes, disagree.

Yep. We need some leadership out there too, and hopefully he can provide that.

I've never heard of him, but like the sound of him. Last night showed that we need some pace, power and experience out there.

Not yet. I don't think any wheely bins have been thrown or burnt yet either.

It's Dobbin's calling.

Cremated.

I'm glad I declined a free ticket tonight. Absolute shambles.
