Well we probably wouldn't have been able to afford players like Godden, Dabo, McFadzean etc, and we won the league so I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

It’s an interesting thought experiment! I’m under the impression that we wouldn’t have signed one of Walsh or COH that preseason and both were influential in our promotion.

I’d certainly have COH > Bayliss back then. But like Walsh, Bayliss has been injured/out of form for so long… they’re not really the same player as before.

I was optimistic about Bright returning and frankly, that was a disaster. Trusting nostalgia can be dangerous!

I was more thinking about how he might have developed with more game time. Jumping up a level when he did doesn’t seem to have done him any favours.

Hopefully he can get established somewhere else and progress his career.

He's a much better player than Stevenson, although it's difficult to gauge what effect the last two years has had on him. What a terrible move for him. Hope he does manage to get his career back on track as he is a skillful player.

He might be a strike partner for my Granny, she's good enough to play for Jamaica. She qualified because she once bought a rum and black at spoons!

From what I’ve seen this season he’d have to step up an awful lot. Not sure he’s at that level yet (or ever will be)

Not sure it's the end of the world personally. He was a good when fit but his fitness record is pretty poor over the course of his career. One of those where if he comes then good but if not, I'm confident we will be able to find others.

Yeah I’m a big fan of JCS, but his injury record is terrible and we just can’t afford to have players who only make 50% of the games.

Agree with this. Great when fit, but we can't risk investing big money (wages) on someone who is almost guaranteed to break down twice a season (based on his history)

Fair, but at the same time on our budget we need to try and find players who are a bit of a bargain, so we likely have to take a risk somewhere. In an ideal world we’d probably have a squad of 20 players who never get injured and can play in two or three positions.

I agree that we may have to take a risk, but with JCS, we know we would have to offer high wages (due to competition for him) and that he is a player who regularly 'breaks down'. I'd sooner go for a player with potential with a 'clean/better' injury history. Wages should be less. I;m not talking Hilssner type signings, more like a Corbeanu, or Harvie (MK Dons) type player (although Harvie went off with an injury towards the end of the Wycombe game )

We held on to JJ long enough, and 50% of games would be a huge improvement from him!

Yeah but JJ is likely on a contract paid in FUT coins and JCS would be one of our highest earners.

I watched them play Mallorca in the wretched Segunda B playoffs about three years ago. It is so hard to get out of those divisions. Mallorca were losing 2-0 after the first leg of the (two leg) final. Came back to the island and did them 3-0 at home to get promoted. Deportivo have been in the abyss since, although they do have a shot at the playoffs again this year.

There is Numancia, Racing Santander, Murcia, Recrativo Huelva, Hercules, Cordoba - and that is just off the top of my head - lingering in the 3rd and 4th tier. So many conferences essentially and the quality is really poor. Barely conference standard I would say.

Likewise there are teams in the Segunda I've never heard of.

He ain’t done too bad still earning what will be a good living from football on loan at division one champions Wigan.

Go on, where have I said he’s a terrible player?
I said Genoa have had a terrible season and a Genoa fan labelled him as a liability and laughed at you.
