......and Bissouma and Beram......

A midget compared to Dan Burn though, Duffy's barely six foot four!

To be fair, many on here (myself included, I admit) thought Duffy was an odd signing at the time. We had Dunk and Goldson as our ace CB pairing, and just needed to replace the departing Gordon Greer as 4th. choice CB (we thought). Turns out we were wrong then, so...

Nonetheless, that's what CH and the recruitment team seem to have decided. Still, I suppose nothing will stop the 'too-young-too-inexperienced' devotees going on about it. Until he plays and does well, of course.................................

Maty could sit on his shoulder for incoming corners, I suppose.............

We've probably only bought him to remind Ryan how very, very short he is!

It's fairly obvious the management aren't excluding White! Good. Perhaps they're as fed up as I am with people repeating "too young, too inexperienced" over and over like it's some kind of effin' mantra! He has much PL experience as any of the expensive outfield players we've singed his window...

If Burn has singed for us but is going back to Wigan until January, it would make more sense to keep White here for the first half of the season and loan him out to a Championship club (Wigan perhaps) in January when Burn returns here.

So - sorry if I've missed something - have we actually singed him and loaned him back? I thought we had, but I had to go out for a bit and when I came back and switched on SSN the first thing I heard (or think I heard) was "Dan Burn has announced he is staying at Wigan". Looking on the BBC and...

I don't know, but White has. #tooyoungtooinexperienced.yawn!

No, for Wigan Athletic.............................

We don't have to have 8 HGPs, and we don't have to have 25 players named in the squad. It would be handy, but it's not essential. Look at last season, for instance. Goldson, Hunnemeier, Sidwell, Maenpaa, Krul, Baldock, Murphy/Locadia, Skalak - all in the squad, but I doubt if they managed a...

TB has got money, to be sure - but money to burn? No chance, he's far too savvy for that. And I'm as sure as I can be that we've got a budget which we won't exceed. No idea what that budget is, of course - or whether the club are still chasing Moore, though I think that is looking less and less...

Maybe we're not signing Moore. Maybe we'll risk going with what we've got - we've just halved the risk to half a season, not a whole one. Burn will benefit from half a season stepping up to Championship level too.

White would be ahead of Bruno for that job anyway.

Don't stand down-wind of him, then.

My thoughts entirely. Chance for White to do a bit of bench-warming, with the odd ten minutes playing time here and there (plus U23 matches) and he can still go out on loan in January if CH feels that would be best. Perhaps White on loan to Wigan in January and Burn coming back to us? Would make...

No he isn't.

The last time we got a CB who was a great success at League 2 level it worked out fine for us, so no reason it shouldn't be the same for White. If the club want to get someone better/more experienced/more expensive no doubt they will - but it strengthens our bargaining position considerably if...
