yes Mat we need 6 for comfort, for me an old hand and a young gun added to your 4 suspects would provide the balance of two young two old two in the middle.
I'd be pretty happy to get Gaskell partnering Gale, especially if he could be secured on a permanent deal. If not a season long loan without recall option would need to be agreed.
interesting that sykes has only signed a one year deal, which coincidentally was the length of contract he had left with us. Wonder if that means were still paying the difference between his bulls deal (which was widely rumoured to be a high earning one) and what he's signed on at wakey for, with him negotiating a new deal with wakey next year.
Sykes removed from preview squad, and good luck to him, shows how difficult it is being a part player, and hopefully we can benefit ourselves with a loan or two that kick on with regular games.
