We need bodies. We need options off the bench. It’s a no-brainer. If we can just get Dougie in too we can put the band back together.

I'm sure there was something in one of the Athletic pieces after he left that said although we were open to offers, Unai was still willing to work with him until Roma came in.

If he can have half the unlikely impact Emi had on his reurn from exile it will give us twice as much output as Sancho and Guessand put together, so fingers crossed.

I think I'm holding onto the same torch Lee.


I don't think there's long left, my hand feels hot.
Ouch!!

To be fair, I'd flipping well hope so. Bailey signed a new contract with us in February 2024, I'd expect the manager to be willing to work with any of our players that are part of our squad.

Bailey back is a better option than Sancho and Elliott currently - beggars can't be choosers

Hopefully he'll see what Emi2 has done and this might motivate him.

He has had a tough run with injuries, but he hasn't played much in Italy, so I wonder if he is even over them properly.

He is flaky as fuck when it comes to picking-up knocks. Like Sancho, you wonder how motivated he is to be fit for games after a couple of big contracts. Fucking wingers, are any of them made of tough stuff?

I always remember Tony Daley being injured and Froggart thinking about, wasn't he always a game away from an injury.

We know how good he can be, we also know that when he's shit he's utter shit. He becomes Guessand without the work rate. Hopefully realising how crap the football world is away from VP means we get the very good version back.

We haven't seen what Elliott can do.

I presume we are not going to either.
