Don't think we really have the time to be checking on his fitness, we need bodies fast, as we are saying he cant be less effective than Holmes get him in if its until the end of the season and get him playing. Desperate times bring desperate measures. Watching Boro" on Sky a couple of weeks ago and the commentator was saying that at this time of the season, Colin only has very light training between games. |

Makes sense. If players who have been playing & training all season aren't fit enough now, they never will be. |

If players who have been playing & training all season aren't fit enough now, they never will be. Trouble is, after last night where Mbenza and Pritchard came off, I suspect we've got more 'first team players' injured than fit. Although I've got to the point where I'd just pay Pritchard off and tell him not to bother coming back again - unless we can figure a way to fine him his wages ever week  |

As for Pritchard, he wouldn't be anywhere near a first team squad of ours ever again if it was up to me. |

Absolute joke if we are even considering him. He's done nothing at any club he has been at. Much better managers than ours have failed to motivate him, why the hell do they think ours will?

Talk about desperation. His history is blatantly obvious to all, and yet each of his clubs think this time it will be different and he’ll turn it around. And now it is our turn.
If it comes to fruition and he comes good, then I’ll raise my hand and apologize. But it won’t. And in 6 or 7 weeks time this will probably turn out to be another stick used to beat the club.

Morrison is surely 2021’s Puncheon. Sad to say if he comes in it’s another nail in the coffin.

All this would do is confirm that the club have completely fucked things up and are now panicking.

Ridiculously talented footballer, but that talent unfulfilled.
If nothing else, Bacuna will no longer be our most frustrating player if he signs.

Strange how a footballer can make something look this easy? And this wasn't just a flash in the pan he's done it multiple times, as I've said Fergie called him the most talented kid he's ever seen and yet his career has burned away in front of his eyes, obviously has some demons. |

If we can harness that potential, we've got a hell of a player. And that's probably why club after club have tried. The man (at 28, he ain't a kid any more) is ridiculously talented.
Such a shame.

You've nailed it there, club after club have tried to get that from him - looks like we're next in line to try, If it doesn't happen here and the closer he gets to 30 and beyond it never will. |

Well worth the hours listen, goes someway to explaining what went wrong, seems an honest lad and doesn't blame other factors other than himself.
I'd suggest people listen to this before jumping the gun

It would be funny if it wasn't just so so sad. |

He doesn't look bad on the video that pops up after with clips of him playing for England! |

He’s been at over 10 clubs and managed just 100 league appearances in total at 28 years old. It would be a complete punt that is very unlikely to come off and stinks of desperation.
If the club were serious about improving the squad they would have done it in January, scraping the barrel for any free agents going is a testament to the complete shit show that is Huddersfield Town at the moment.
We need major surgery, and instead of dealing with the deeper problems we’re just trying to stick some plasters over a gaping wound and hoping it’ll all work out.

This ‘stinks of desperation” people keep using... we are desperate aren’t we? It looks like a stop gap because of injuries, rather than part of a wider plan? Would you prefer we do nothing to stop the slide? |

Seems desperate but we ARE desperate.
Don’t care about his past, a fresh face might give us a boost, must be some talent in there somewhere!
