    the lad the Gills are after seems decent, if we’d signed a player for £250k with that record, I’d say it’s good business.

    It will be fascinating to see if GA does actually finally accept that he's never going to make a centre forward of Humphrys and plays him wide left.

    Its not like Bobby has got that shirt as things stand.

    Humphrys on the left feeding a clinical finisher could really make all the difference in spite of our obvious current frailties elsewhere on the pitch.

    Humphrys will never play as the left 10 as he doesn't have the defensive discipline to play it.

    Didn't @Dennis@Dennis or someone with a financial background once post that he took "consultancy fees" or am I imagining that?

    Ronan Hale, 27 year old forward. He's 7 goals from 19 this season in the Scottish champ, 30 from 67 at Ross County overall. Had a pretty much 1 in 2 record in Ireland.

    If he was 22/23/24 then it's a decent spend with a chance of resale. At 27, 28 at the start of next season, theres less a chance of getting the money back. It's a spend for promotion and thats it, but the Scottish Champ is a naff standard to know if he's ant good.

    We've had a whole set of defenders who can't seem to muster any defensive discipline in recent weeks so he's in good company:)

    I do agree Dave but the type of performances coupled with the lack of urgency/action in the transfer market is compounding things.

    Hopefully an improved performance on Saturday with 3 points will help steady the ship a little.

    You could be right that sounds familiar
    One thing is for certain, he is not doing it for the love of Bradford city

    That's just a myth paddled by GA to halt the questioning of Hunphrys position imo.

    Humps isn't going to come good in any position imo. He's done here.

    He's been eating out all season on "He scored 5 in 5 for Barnsley!"

    In a few seasons he'll be doing step overs and missing sitters in the National League.

    I do wonder if we would have taken this approach in the transfer window if we were just a couple of points above the relegation places?

    To be fair he gets stick so he should share in any financial success too. He actually does not need to put that much in and he is also polishing his asset….as I said just before the season ended the proof will be what Rupp puts in to push us on if we get promoted… we did. Over to you Herr Rupp.
