Could do a decent enough job if required at this level for me and we are not exactly spoilt for choice should our first choice central defenders get an injury or a suspension. We would probably offer double or triple the wages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect we will now pay what we consider a player is worth to us to seal a deal (I hope). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junxs Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Before Dean Smith came along, we were desperate to get a centre back in to come straight into the team. Now players are playing in their correct positions its not as urgent as it once was, so we are now looking to get a back up in case something happens to Chester or Tuanzebe rather than an instant first teamer. In which case January only being 6 weeks away after the break for internationals after the Derby game, then I think we can risk it until then and sign a proper defender instead of Collins on big money.

tinker Posted November 10, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted November 10, 2018 Pretty sure Collins is a shadow of Bruce's rein , why loan out Elphick and bring Iin Collins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't need Collins now or in the future for me, but if he wants to hang around and train to get hinself fit and get a contract sonewhere else I'm all for that. This, Jedinak and Collins are basically the same. Slow, ponderous, poor in possession and great in the air, but Jedinak has a better beard, isn't ginger and has actually played more than 5 minutes of football in the last 2 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A guy on my Sunday league team is an "actual defender" as well but I'd still pick Jedinak there over him. Agree with the last point, although you definately can't pin 100% of the blame on Bruce (despite him clearly being a part of the total shambles leaving us with no CB cover) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alreadyexists Posted November 30, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted November 30, 2018 Apparently we’ve agreed a 5 week contract. Don’t worry, it’s not 5 year! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted November 30, 2018 Moderator Share Posted November 30, 2018 Can't hurt. Good for all parties. We'll need the safety net of some bodies just to get us to January. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Well 5 weeks is good. Covers us over xmas which we badly need and he will want a longer contract so he will put his all in. They saying he will be available for West Brom next week. Also he would have played with chester before which helps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elphick isnt great but I think bruce treated him like dirt as well even before this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
