Yet previously he's said he doesn't want, or need, a big squad and was keen to thin out the numbers starting with loaning players out and later getting shut.

He said there was no point as that just led to players sitting around with no game time.

Now we are too thin on the ground.
He probably means overall the squad is too big, but you can never have enough wingers or whatever position he likes to stockpile :D

It's probably just a diplomatic way of saying we're laden with resource-sapping dross.

Would we want a defender who can't get in a team that concedes 15 in a week? :D

What's Matty Fryatt up to these days? Always liked him.

I was surprised he felt the need to join us in the first place. Maybe swayed by Cpt. Chaos' 'we'll walk this league' attitude. Hope he comes here, but it would be a big step.

If Warnock is the answer, I hope the question isn't what do BWFC need to build a decent defence?

He may have looked ok in our back four this term, but I'd have fancied Wandering Willy to have carried that one off!

Warnock!!? Heaven help us.

Well, he was the best full-back I recall seeing playing for us at the Reebok since Candella.

But aye, OK.

I never said he wasn't, but the competition hasn't been much to write home about. :D

The older we get, the further back we drift. :D

Anyway! Who ever said a defender can't be a creator?

Apparently passing a ball across the halfway line is being creative nowadays.

So would you sign Spearing permanently now he's had a fair few games under his belt? That's to everyone.

Yeah, I think 2 mil is a reasonable price. He can be a bit inconsistent but he definitely adds some much needed tempo to the middle.
