    Cheap, versatile, 'hungry', and full of platitudes.

    Ticks every box for us now.

    Imagine the day that our approach to recruitment extends beyond 'freebies that the gaffers worked with before'.

    I'm sure I read somewhere that other clubs use a system called 'scouting'.

    Amazing isn't it.

    Klopp been at Liverpool for 4 years and has never signed a player he previously worked with even though that included world class players but we seem to always want to go to those we know like we can't move on and our scouting is so poor that we have become lazy as a club.

    Why does "The utility talent" always read as "not really good enough to hold down his own position but keen enough that he'll fill in elsewhere"?

    Presumably Stuart saw something in him whilst at Scunny, and was surprised they released him.

    Hopefully Levi repays that faith and goes on to be a success here.

    Because I had never heard of him until this summer, I will reserve judgement until I have seen him play for, whenever that might be!

    Welcome to the Bantams and good luck to the lad

    Know nothing of the boy, so I'll reserve judgement.

    Hope it works out for both club and player.

    I kind of want to ask that if he's so "highly rated" , how come he's only made 50 appearances in the past 5 years? But I won't. Hopefully he does the business for us - I see from wiki that he's been played mostly as a right back.

    From the local. Paper

    The one player in particular who can count himself extremely unlucky is Sutton. He’s the best academy graduate in recent years, still only 23, and gives valuable versatility at either right-back, central midfield, or even a deeper-lying holding defensive midfield role when tactically required

    Sounds poor for a team with ambitions of promotion, misses the first three of the season after getting sent off in his last game.

    So we don't know his best position and has played 50 games in 5 years.Is he injury prone or just not good enough?

    We aren't intrested about Liverpool or their manager. If you want to shout about them in every thread go on their fans forum.

    Well you might not understand but to be the best you have to understand how the best go about things.

    Maybe, that's why we find ourselves an extremely poor div 2 side because we don't learn.

    Fans of Bradford City really need to start understanding football again rather than just being happy before we find ourselves in the National League.

    Well the best thing for you to do is go on their forum and tell them how much you like them.

    Change the name and that could be describing Danny Devine. Would you also be excited if we'd offered a new deal to him instead of signing Sutton?

    Best thing you can do is up your standards for the club.

    Learn from the best to be the best!

    No assists - this club doesn't learn...No decent scouting system - the club doesn't learn.

    I wish Levi all the best and welcome to the club.

    Good points there Fordy but personally I don't care why or how we sign a player. Even if it meant signing a lad just because Stuart had a one night stand with his Mum!
    As long as he does the business on the pitch I will be happy.
