    That's just the way some people are, nothing wrong with that, everyone is entitled to an opinion.
    It's the old glass half empty/full syndrome. Me I'm a glass half full sort of character (until events prove me wrong). Funny that really because when it comes to beer I am the exact opposite, when my pint is halfway down I start feeling sad.

    Vardy doesn't follow Leicester's dietary guidelines and is allowed to do what works for him, apparently it involves a lot of Red Bull. As for Gareth Evans time will tell.

    Compared to Magic, he's a spring chicken. Are you suggesting that Magic only came here to see his time out?

    It is a neutral response for me.

    But I wish the lad well

    That’s my point. I don’t think its a bad signing as such, and I’ll reserve judgement until we see how he does. My point is, if his legs are going a bit, he could decline quickly and the drop from League 1 to League 2 might expose him. There’s not a huge difference between the standard of most of each league.

    I’m not really bothered about ‘well known’.

    And I don’t think it’s a bad signing. I’m just nervous about whether it’ll be another case of a player dropping down the leagues after his legs start to go a bit, and drops off in terms of quality very quickly. Lets hope he’s more Beagrie than McLean.

    I'm not sure what position is his best or where he will play but I do think that his leadership on the pitch will be helpful. We could have done with him last weekend to organise us after the red cards.

    Good luck to him. Hope he does well.

    Is he slow? Obviously I'm not sure as I haven't seen much of him and I don't expect him to be lightning but unless my mind is playing tricks on me he had a decent turn of pace in his first spell here.

    Well Gareth and Magic have one thing in common. Coming here at this moment in time is certainly a challenge.

    Phew. One more page on in Stuart's little black book and it would have been Barry Conlon returning.

    And! Even when he played against us it was never like I wish he was still playing for us.

    Some of you just can't move forward at all!

    And? The point is we have signed someone who has been delivering at the top of end of league one. I know your a WUM Fordy but what is your point?

    Do you think he's a bad player? Worse than what we have or something else?
