Not sure there weren't too many fans on his case to suggest that him returning might not work. Even if it was only 10% of the goon squad. The empty vessils were making a fair amount of din, before he left...

He's an attacking player who thrives on confidence. Quite possibly a bit of a soft bastard. However players like that can be brilliant for you if managed right, and in the right squad atmosphere. I think we can give him a platform to perform now that he never had under Freedman.
Just because he's not the man for a relegation scrap in the shambles of Blackpool FC doesn't rule him out for me.

Well, of all the cheek! Bob himself posted on p15, that this would be "the best transfer thread ever". Then on page 22 or so MIGUEL VELOSO got a mention. Since then, we've unloaded Medo, Spearing, Riley and Kenny to name but a few. I fail to see how you're not wetting yourself. Unbelieveable.

Look the bloke's hardly Ryan Giggs (I doubt his balls are half the size :mrgreen: ).
He showed flashes of being a decent player but when needed to buckle down he went awol, Eagles couldn't tackle a one legged sixty year old and providing cover is foreign to him.
Not the type of player Keith or we want thank you!

Has he not gone yet? That's like a completely new signing. More joy! Gawd bless Bijou.

Let's hope that you're not involved in any contract negotiations with him!!

By the by, Kenny left as a free agent when his deal ran out.

Factor it in however if it eases the passage to a night's sleep for our beleaguered thread sponsor.

.

Eagles though, shudder the thought. His type get show ponies a bad name.

I'm not interested in his swingers thanks but I think he showed some guts at times. Not physically, but when we were struggling and he was getting grief personally from some, he kept showing for the ball. There's a bravery in that, even if he doesn't like the rough stuff. Once again, I'm interested in what he can do, not what he can't.
Now I'm not saying he's going to be the footballing equivalent of Gerard Butler in 300, but he's got a talent we can't afford to sniff at.

I'd just like to point out for clarity here that I provided one of the major highlights of this thread, and I hope for one that Bijou Bob is suitably grateful.

Aye, bravery isn't smashing someone at knee height after the ball has gone.

He was a bit of a tart at times but so was chungy, and look at him. Darren couldn't play football and look what Lennon has done!

BN has an article saying although Spearings loan move to Watford has been agreed Lennon isn't agreeing to it until he gets some players in.
