We needed another centre back for the rotation and so we signed one. Generally, the three ahead of him have played well so he hasn't had much chance to be involved.

 

What's weird about that?

 

Lees is looking like a flipping ninety year old, borner is off form and fox is injured. If he can't get a game now he's fizzed to be fair.

Waste of wages really.

 

If the bloke can't get minutes on the pitch even when we're on a terrible run and looking increasingly vulnerable in defence, it makes you wonder why he was signed.

 

When you consider that we started the season with Lees, Borner and Iorfa all fit and available.  All Championship-standard CBs.

 

Then with the likes of Hutchinson, Fox and Thornily (yes I'm aware he's since been sold) all capable as cover options, signing another CB just to make up the numbers was an expense we probably could have done without.

 

That money we've actually wasted, would have surely been better used by strengthening our options at full-back, centre-midfield or up front.

We've wasted money for 5 years.

 

Too many signings have made no sense whatsoever.

He’s probably hoping and praying that Monk keeps forgetting that he’s a Wednesday player.

I expect he turns up each day wearing overalls and carrying a paint brush . “ You still painting the North Stand on your own pal” says Monk.

” Yes, the work experience lads just don’t turn up “ replies  Bates.

He’s the new Abdi..as a club we always need one player that never plays. 
 

We should try to get disability caters allowance to generate extra revenue

It's SWFC diversity and inclusiveness programme. Wednesday are woke. We can tick that box.

 

Oh and it means the club can claim a motability car for him and an ergonomic orthopaedic chair.

 

Winners all round.

He surely can’t be that bad that he can’t even get in the squad.

 

I met and kept in touch with a few Hamburg lads from when we were there for pre season and although they said he wasn’t a world beater they think he's a steady defender and they only let him out on loan as they got a new manager and he fancied his own players.
