A few prem teams are chasing him this window. Lloyd Sam is as consistent as gradel for me. We need a tough stopper in midfield, someone in the batty or ince ilk

Whats David Batty up to nowadays, he keeps himself well out of the limelight,totally distanced himself from football. Is he fit and well ?

Batts regularly went out on the bin rounds with his old man when he was a highly paidpremiership footballer. He's one of those players that actually doesn't like the game, never watches any, just happened to be very good at it.

It's why I made up what I did, thought it might have just passed as believable.

Alan Smith linked with a return, would he get in the side? He cant tackle so maybe as Larry seems to like midfielders that cant tackle.

Can't tacke as in has no timing you mean? He certainly puts his foot in.
I would be willing to forgive and forget to a certain extent if he came back, he is the type of midfielder we need.
Not sure too many of the faithful supporters would feel the same way though. Would be interesting to see.

Possibly yes. I'd say they make up a fair amount of the attendance if I'm honest though!
