Has anyone watched him play? Is he suited to wing back? Sounds like a more traditional full back to me

He played left wing back against us twice last season and this season

On topic tho, how can people be so sure this Bidwell acquisition is a good deal? I admire the self-confidence. We know we need a left back / left wing back, that is agreed. But that is it.

How good is he, well who knows? The chart up thread doesn't look promising. He is in effect a 'Swansea reject'. I suggest reserving our judgement is the best policy - not easy for football fans I realise.

However he does fit the profile of the successful acquisition strategy for L2 and L1, but which we abandoned for the first season in the Championship - good (hopefully) out of contract players - see Kelly, MacF (small fee?) and recently Kane.

He isn't a Swansea reject, he was a mainstay of their team which twice got to the play offs.

It appears to me as a very similar signing to Kane, very experienced at this level. I wasn’t very excited about the Kane signing, I got that very wrong.

So I’m not going to get excited about this signing either and hope it has the same effect. Think this is going to be a very good piece of business by the club though

We actually have a LWB on our books who isn’t on loan, that will do for me

Do we now expect Maatsens return to Chelsea for treatment to be extended to the summer?

Two very good players battling for one position, can only be a good thing. Also means we won’t have to rely on players if they are out of form or injured or suspended.

It’s great to be able to have some squad depth

One of the ITK’s mentioned that somebody is buying Shipley, and the fee is currently being negotiated.

Well no as the one out of contract I meant in the summer is now being sold for a fee - we will save wages on the loans as well so effectively we are getting 3 off the interim payroll and signing one

Wow the hedge fund really busting a guy for a promotion bid

Bidwell could turn out to be a very astute signing for us. 28, loads of experience playing for decent teams in this league and no transfer fee involved. If it doesn’t work out we can potentially get a fee for him. Win-win

You are assuming the replacement(s) will cost less than the leaver(s)

It's amazing how you complain about stuff like this when it's the epitome of right-wing capitalist thinking and the cornerstone of what the Tories and their donors stand for.

Highly efficient investment getting the most from the funds provided and reaping a high return in the loan interest.

You should be lauding them for their astute investment acumen.

Joking aside, he is a solid build. Hopefully he's kept himself fit. Really happy with this acquisition.

If they actually reaped the reward . The accounts show the amounts accrued - accruing and getting it are 2 different things

He should be a really good signing, that means this season we will have made 5 really good signings, in Moore, Kane, Sheaf, Gyo, and now hopefully Bidwell. That's progress however you look at it.

No I said they charge Wonga levels of interest on their loans which then are accounted for

A hard bastard that can run all game and has a decent cross on him?

Sounds perfect for what we need.
