I hate that whenever Bright`s name is mentioned it always seems to be connected to the Wembley miss......................he was a terrific striker for us, a perfect foil for Hirst, almost guaranteed 20 goals a season and never bullied.

The one in the pic isn't no...................................I was just throwing his name into the "gossip" mix.

We were linked with Clint Leemans in January. 22 year old box to box central midfielder, 6 foot 2 tall and dead ball specialist. Started life at PSV but currently plays for VVV Venlo (cool name) and is out of contract at the end of the season.

He would be my idea of a decent free signing........but if the rumoured asking price of £2M is true then its a no from me.

Not true.....................he was a decent little player Ken Knighton was a little , er..........excitable.

IMHO we should let ALL the players out of contract leave Kean , Loovens, Pudil, Wallace and Nuhiu................in addition return Butterfield and Venancio to their parent clubs. Then do our utmost to offload Palmer, Fox, Jones and Boyd.....................do that and we have trimmed 11 players off the squad. Replace with half a dozen players who will SPECIFICALLY add power and pace to an ageing and cumbersome squad and we might just be targeting top 6 again.

Sound like Antonio Conte last season.

Providing there is nothing murky going on then it would make a lot of sense for Almen to appear at one of the pre match press conferences where we can get some clarification and hear his side of the story.

I am clearly in the minority here..............if he does sign permanent then i hope i am wrong in this.......... but i am far from convinced.

He is not the worst we have had...........far from it, and i rate him better than Loovens and Thorniley. his defending is generally steady, but he lacks height and strength in a position where we have been crying out for those attributes, and his distribution is poor. If the asking price is as quoted on here ( £2M ) then it is a big no no IMHO.

Bang average for me.

Didnt go last night and he was played out of position by the sound of it..................but based on the appearances i HAVE seen since the turn of the year then i too just dont get the high regard he is held in on here by most. The lad is still young , but in all honesty he has looked average at best and should, IMHO be nowhere near the starting line up next year.

Sadly not excited or confident at the moment...............this cluster***k of a season is going to take some shaking off.

Given the hand he was dealt he has done a pretty decent job...................but overall i am nudging towards out. A bit too cautious for my liking and his one signing so far has hardly filled me with optimism, BUT it`s all immaterial as i think he is nailed on to still be here next season.
