Re: Bronwhill confirms departure

Maybe Andy, but on the other hand, he might be looking at who we have signed and how the squad looks and be thinking "*hit, I could have been part of that."

Suspect C.J. might be thinking the same - been a REALLY good window as far as I'm concerned.

Agree on Beyer. He got away with being a right- footed LCB in the Championship but got found out in the Prem. Playing RCB alongside Steve I think would be a strong pairing in the PL - assuming he is fully fit.
