Don't get it, a massive fee (for us), for an obscure rightback who hardly been playing.

If it was for a striker who's banged in 20 or 30 goals recently then yes.

Must say I'm struggling with this one as well. 100k if that is the figure being spoken about could surely buy us a proven league one creative mid or striker. Christ thst sort of money could buy you podge couldn't it??

Maybe invest the money into bionic legs so we can bring back Diz and keep him playing haha

It cost 6 million dollars for two bionic legs, one arm and one eye in 1974. Even with tech prices coming down over the years £50k per leg doesn’t sound enough.

Us town fans aye, we moan when we don’t spend any money on players and then when do spend money on one we still moan 🤷🏽‍♂️ . Whilst I understand some of the comments about spending money on a right back when it could possibly be used to sign a cb or attacking midfielder, I’m sure MJ and the board have this in hand. I think it’s clear that MJ puts great importance on his full backs and wants them to be equally as effective going forward as they are defensive. He clearly sees Gibson, Dummigan as two players who can provide the width we need and able to put decent balls in the box for the likes of Hanson/green.

If Dummigan IS the player who can chip in with a few goals and assists but we have to pay a fee so be it. 100k is hardly going to cripple our club. MJ has worked with Dummigan at Burnley for a couple of seasons (in which he won the young player of the year and was highly rated) before having a decent spell at Oldham in league one so I don’t understand why people suggest he’s an unknown?

As for people saying ‘we already have Luke hendrie’ I think we will see hendrie move into the defensive midfielder role Hess has been playing, after all LH started his career as defensive mid and also played in this position for us a handful of times last season and did well. This would give us hendrie, Hess, Hewitt, Clifton and whitehouse fighting for the 3 midfield positions. Any permutation of 3 from them would be strong IMO.

So I’ve been rumbled. I am Lee Majors.

I have woken up a few times legless and barely alive.

If MJ thinks he is worth £100,000 and he should know seeing he was at Burnley with him,

That's good enough for me.

Did you get legless on the NHS or did you have private health insurance?

I know this may sound somewhat controversial, but isn't it possible that MJ knows what he's doing?
