Back on loan to the end of the season. Worth a thread in its own!

Good shot stopper,but kicking was awful and I always thought there was a mistake waiting to happen with him.that said,he saved a penalty at Wembley and kept a clean sheet at old Trafford,so we will have to wait and see which Paul Jones turns up :)

I'm beginning to wonder what the point is in producing all these young players if we are just going to waste the money on wages of players who haven't played for months, legs are falling off or someone who wasn't deemed good enough 28yrs ago.

Why don't we invest some of our windfalls in employing a scout. It's becoming a bit embarrassing.

Backing Gary Caldwell, thanks Matt and good luck.
Would imagine that means Pym is being sold. Jones to make his debut on Saturday? It's a risk imo playing a different keeper in a big game, wouldn't fancy Hamon playing given he has hardly played this season.

If Pym is off, How about a playing a goalkeeper that has been scouted properly and may improve with us.

Agree with this, We seem to just re-sign players we once had and TBH how many are improving the squad? Seriously lazy scouting

With our healthy financial state we don't need to sell anyone(if it means Pym is leaving).This deal is completely mad.

This.... doesn't anyone on the top table remember the good money we made from TAH the first and Dunney?

Have any of the returnees actually recreated the contribution they made before they left?
