3-4 mil upfront the rest paid in the summer, unless they still owe us money

It is a gamble as that £6m if true is just a staged payment. It is on our balance sheet

Clearly not as we’d have to write off future payments of £6 million

£6m is nothing compared to what we’d get if we went up, if he comes in does the business, gets fit and in shape over the summer he could be a real attribute next season if we were in the Premier League.
All depends on what he wants wages wise

Not sure on it. Would certainly go down very well with the majority of the fan base. Hed certainly give us something different in the midfield. Just couldn't see him playing every game but he'd be a good option in the rotation.

Snap their hands off. He looked decent in a shite Prem team so could give us a few good years.

Just googled it, Pro footballers are free to use the weight loss jabs, get him on them to stop the Kebabish cravings

Yeah, for me it’s all going to come down to fitness. I’m not sure I’d want us to sign many unfit players in the position we’re in…maybe Gus is one of the exceptions. Depends how unfit he really is.

His stats for this season aren't that bad at all considering being played on LW for the most of it

Got more chance of him being fitted with a set of telescopic arms and playing midfield and in goal at the same time

One of my eldest sons client WAS Gus' agent before he became very seriously ill, that's how I knew he was moving on long before it was common knowledge.

My son has consistently maintained Gus would be back.

It remains to be seen.

Would anyone be saying he’s not the answer if he hadn’t played for us before? I seriously doubt it.

Don’t believe this for a second but for £6m I’d take him back in a heartbeat.

You can flip that on its head, would anyone be saying he is the answer if he hadn't?

If he comes then obviously Lampard thinks he's got something to offer so I'm good with that but I don't see it happening

Ordinarily I like us to avoid signing ex players as I think it's best for everyone to move on, and the second spell is usually underwhelming. However for someone of his quality I'd definitely explore it. Just thinking of the through balls he could play to the likes of EMC and Wright would give us a real X-factor and added thread in midfield. Having said that, he looks in horrendous shape at the moment and needs to sort himself out. It's a hard one, probably best to move on in reality.

I can't tell if you put the word 'not' in there by mistake, if you wanted to join in the transfer window wind-up, or you're fishing for bites from people who are on the transfer window wind-up. Nice work.

And Robins was manager when he was here so I doubt Frank knows much about him, I can’t see this happening.

Even if we wanted him, and he was available for an affordable price, why would he agree to the significant wage reduction he'd have to accept here?

Whoever signs him is going to have to match his current wages. We won't.

is this the idea that anyone who isn't into Hamer coming back is just butthurt from him leaving? I'm glad we sold him for what we did and bought a chunk of this squad. Expect that's how a lot of folks see it.
