Wouldn't take him back. The team spirit seems great at the moment - they remind me a bit of the team we had in 05/06. There are no big egos in the squad anymore. As Lenny said, it's a shame that Bilel burned his bridges with us because otherwise he might have been allowed to come back and play for us if it didn't work out at other clubs. The manner in which he left meant that he went from hero to villain, although I'm sure some of our fans would still welcome him back. We don't need him and Sturrock doesn't need the problem. Maybe a League One club will take him. Even if he did come back here, where does he fit into the team? It's a real shame as he's probably the most exciting player I've seen in my time as a Southend fan (except maybe Freddy in his prime), but he has only himself to blame. Typical French.
