My thinking on this is simple really, he’s here training with us so IF he’s offered a contract it must be because he’s shown the staff he’s got something to offer on and probably off the pitch.. so IF he does sign I’m all for it. Either way it can’t be doing any harm for our lads to be around a man who’s achieved highly in the game

7 games in 2 years doesn't sound very inspiring. The next Liam Lawrence? Even if reasonably fit, I can't see him regaining that necessary match fitness in time to help given so little game time in recent years. Most of the good old pros with pedigree that have worked out well for us in the past like Wally Walters, Kenny Hibbitt and Don Megson were still get some game time for their former teams when they signed. Joe Ledley has played about 10 games in the last 2 and a half years!

In all seriousness his experience could be invaluable with us in this precarious situation.

No point bringing him in unless the new manager is going to play him

I think he would be a good signing on an 18 month contract if he can prove his fitness. I expect either 1 or both of upson and ogogo to depart in the summer which would leave us with no experienced senior midfielders. I think he would be perfect to guide the crop of young midfield talent we have at the club already as well as providing a different option within the squad. 3 months.

I'd rather give a short term contract to Cureton

he played six games here in Australia before covid halted the league. So the last game he played would have been March I'm guessing. We (the Central Coast Mariners) have managed to get three players into the country. They're still not match fit after a month. Two of them aren't too bad, but the third isn't crash hot.
At least Joe Ledley has been training and not had two weeks hotel quarantine.

I didn’t like lines first time but his second spell was fantastic we probably wouldn’t have won back to back promotions without him.

Surly if we have one spot left in the 22 that should be left for JB to access over the next few games with his contacts could bring in a Gem hopefully
JL is a no from me not an area we are weak in
