Having read about him I can only assume that he is expected to be defensive cover, not a starter. Underwhelming career to date and at 27 not one for the future. Perhaps we are getting rid of Lynch.

You are attempting to cheer me up, aren't you Stan?

This propensity to go for players that are 'Bitzers', average at best but can fit in here and there is not the way forward. We should be looking at players that are good in their best position. A team full of utility players as they used to be known won't get us very far, Perch is another example and Cousins seems to be going that way as well. It also suggests lazy scouting...

I agree. Some versitality is good but I'd rather players specialise in a given position first and foremost but could help out in others when the squad is stretched. I'd like to think it would take silly offers for us to lose Luongo or Freeman.
 
Just a thought: With all the players leaving us (or so it seems at present), does this mean Ollie has got a deal in place to sign Messi's left leg and foot ion loan to the end of the season? We cannot afford a whole Messi so wondering whether we can get parts in only.

Awful signing. Really irks that we are paying his wages so he can sit on his backside.

If I recall correctly, some of us viewed this (signing JET) as a bit of a punt, relatively cheap and worth a go. Clearly it hasn't worked out and his attitude appears to have been part of the problem.

I remember when we had the much-travelled Leon Clarke (on loan?) and he never looked like scoring a goal ever again. This season he has scored 14 in 19 appearances for Sheffield United. Some guys do turn it round!

We couldn't afford his bootlaces let alone any physical part of him...

It seems a lot of players turn it around once they’ve left us :(

I guess some players just click at certain clubs.

According to the nett, Naylor has not played much this season or before and seems to have been converted to a CB from defensive midfield. Not getting into Burton team isn't promising.

Same applied to Freeman when we signed him from Brizzle City. Doesn't have to mean anything. Agree though that it's a worry he isn't getting in to a poor Burton side, at least City had a decent side when Freeman was there.
