£2.5 million for Sinclair seems a bit steep.

If he's the same player he was at Swansea then yea sign him up....but 20 games in 3 seasons, I doubt it.

Isn't this the guy that wasn't good enough to break into the West Brom team last season?

Correct.


If he does come to us it's got to be seen as his last chance to make a decent living in the game.
Hope he can rise to the challenge, especially as the manager doesn't like/use wingers!

Perhaps he's another left back in disguise!

I was just wondering, have any of the players bought by the big spenders then hardly ever played ever regained their original form?

Yeah, doesn't seem like good business to me. As you say, a winger in a team that doesn't use wingers with the added negative of a Steven Ireland like whiff about him. Worse actually at least Ireland actually played well for a while at Man City.

Thats the only one I can think of. And even he has been limited in appearances by injury.

Whenever I see we are in for Sinclair I always presume it's Trevor Sinclair.

Could be worse, could be Frank Sinclair. Or Isla St Clair.

If you could guarantee the Swansea form, then he would cost more than £2.5 million. It's that catch 22 of where we are at moment.

When I picture him, I think of a spell on loan away from Chelsea at Plymouth I believe where I thought he had exceptional talent.

Up to him I guess.

At least it seems we are looking at the right type of player.

I would go on first impressions meeting Sinclair. If he isn't looking super keen to come, I wouldn't touch him with a barge pole.
