So including Doc thats 4 out and just the 2 in so far we need a defender in quick and also a holding midfielder
Bollocks, didn't realise he was out of contract in the summer huge loss, hopefully Marcus Bean will be able to at least partially fill his shoes. The good news is that the fee is reasonably substantial. The chairman has said that it more than covers the money we lost with Wasps moving on, which was around 230k, so I think that we can reasonably assume that the deal is in the 300k region. We definitely need at least another central midfielder and central defender, whilst a right back/left back to cover for Sido and Joe would be useful too.
I didn't realise he was only 21. Just listening to commentaries he seemed to be everywhere, fighting for and winning balls; a really hard working midfielder. Not difficult to see why Barnsley wanted him. It's difficult to imagine who could fill the gap. Has he missed any matches this season?
He didn't play the first few games of the season Ron, it was Murphy and Max/Rowe who were in midfield, and we still coped without him then. Hopefully we can pick ourselves up & Bean is a good like for like replacement.
Agree on that one. Mickey Bell's departure was gutting. Saw a stat on Josh's yellow card haul during his 100 or so games for us. If I recall correctly it was around 32! You could never call him a dirty player though. Just 100% committed to every challenge. Let's hope he gets the breaks he deserves at Barnsley
