Cheaper and better!

Back? :unsure:

 

[Feathers]

Back? :unsure:

He was one of the loanees we managed to "break" a couple of years back. From memory he played about half a game at right back and actully looked pretty good.

Back? :unsure:

Played one game for us in January 2014 as part of a 30 day emergancy loan.

Oh yeah, thanks chaps. Remember now.

Beautiful cross-field ball that ended with both a goal and him pulling up injured.

Does this hint that Thomson may be leaving??

No, different position.

Thompson can play right back but think we would be after a natural one anyway.

This Kennedy sounds pretty useful.

The Echo said that Kennedy is known to be a threat from set pieces and could head to Spain ! The back of the net would be far enough.

 

[TheGoat]

O'Neill is a much better and more proven player than JBW imo. Would be good competition for White at RB

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Why?

I could understand if we're going to get him in permanently as an upgrade on White but we've still got White, who's his captain.

Micky Bodley could head it to Dublin.

Looked good in 45 mins Vs York IIRC?

That's debatable

Why not?

Maybe we are looking at a year long loan, which would be as good as a signing, or a 3 month "try before you buy."

If he better than our current players or offers good competition at full back and potentially centre back surely that is a good thing.

Anyone know if O'Neill can offer cover at LB at all? I can't see us bringing in both him and JBW (and JBW I would only want permanently) but a bit concerned what we would do for backup to Coker if he gets injured again...
