They'd certainly keep the medical staff busy.

Would be delighted with that.

You may well be right but, if so, it begs the question of why we have been trying to sign the Austrian or Norwegian centre back?

Or even two human beings.

Clickbait I'm guessing.

Comparing apples and oranges imo.

Given how long the THB deal took you would have thought we'd have been having meaningful negotiations and laying the groundwork with the Norwegian and Austrian plus their respective clubs in advance. I kinda assumed that's how these things work so that once the THB deal was finalised we'd have some framework already in place. Surely we'd have been able to establish whether either or both were viable in terms of transfer fees, wages and whether the players actually wanted to come. Doesn't seem to have happened which is baffling and means we've wasted a lot of time leaving us scrambling around in the last 30 hours of the window.

And removed THB and Charles.

He'll be 4th choice.

Assuming Schlotterbeck and Wood are our first choice does anyone seriously think if one of them gets injured or loses form Tonda will put in this youngster ahead of Capn Jack?

Whatever JWP's attributes I don't think you can consider him an adequate replacement for Charles.

So we got good money for Charles and didn't replace him and good money for THB and look like replacing him with a young inexperienced lad with potential. The money situation must be dire.

Stephens is our captain. It will not be long before he is back in the starting eleven. You've been a fan for a while, surely you realise that. Like night follows day Stephens ends up a regular in our side.

Let's see.

I guess we can safely say Capn Jack is back in contention and likely to start lots of games.
