If Elphick goes to the Blues, we could do worse with bringing Alex Bruce in. Obviously need another centre back too. Links emerging for the latest Barnsley skipper on clickbait, er, I mean Newsnow.

Well yes, we could bring Lescott back. Or find a place for Kieran Richardson.

We *could* do worse.  But Bruce jnr would still be a rubbish signing. Nowhere near being a first team regular at his recent championship clubs -even with the dad advantage.

You could do worse than crashing into a tree but that doesn't make it something you should consider doing unless literally every other option you have is worse.

If he's still a free agent at the end of August, we still need a defender and we don't have time to find anyone else because all of our scouted options have fallen through then we can consider it, before that it's exactly the sort of unimaginative signing that we should be avoiding.

Somebody is bound to mention Marc Bolan in relation to collisions with trees.

I take your point, though.

Marc Bolan's girlfriend and Mini driver Gloria Jones recorded Tainted Love well before Soft Cell.

I don't think they have recorded it yet.
