Steve Sidwell signed

[MF'84]

Solid signing; not at all exciting but in taking some pressure off Stephens and Kayal to play and perform in every match it could well be a shrewd piece of business (if it happens). Plus if there's ever the need to go 4-3-3 / 4-5-1, Stephens, Kayal and Sidwell in the middle looks a very good option.

So you know for certain towell wont make the step up. Always good to give people a chance eh

Of course I don't - but if I've got the option of taking Sidwell on loan who is a proven top end of the championship CM why wouldn't we? I'd rather not gamble our best chance of promotion for a long time on a guy who's never played a decent standard of football.

He was good the first time around. Im iIN

Definitely. I think he would be a great signing to ease the pressure on the current.2

Very shrewd signing up until recently premier league regular for years.

I saw Steve Sidwell & Glenn Johnson on the tube before Christmas and asked Sidwell if he fancied coming back to us ! I'm taking responsibility for this deal.

Also saw him at Ascot last summer absolutely trollied and seeded the idea initially then. Though he was out with the Reading squad

He is currently enjoying leg of lamb in a rosemary crust in the boardroom at the Amex. Source, my eyes.

Looks like we are going for experience. Good call

 

[Barry M]

Uninspired!!

 

[Springal]

Uninspired!!

What ?

 

[Puppet Master]

Why's everyone talking like this is official?

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

In theory a decent signing. We need quality cover for Kayal and Stephens. It would be a massive gamble to go the second half of the season hoping that they can both play every game and too a high standard.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Back for a second spell and brings goals and experience , will be a great signing once confirmed

 

[DJ NOBO]

Just so I'm clear , when the thread says 'Sidwell has signed' , he hasn't actually signed?

 

[Postman Pat]

Naylor tweet sort of confirms it...

BREAKING NEWS: Confirmed from an impeccable source Albion fighting with Fulham to sign Sidwell. Fact he's here suggests they've won! #bhafc

Indeed - Kayal looks as if he's trying for a red card today!

[sir albion]

Rather past it but still far better than crofts or ince etc

 

[Bladders]

Do we really need him? We have Towell and Crofts

 

[Doc Lynam]

Out of the loop a little with Sidwell but what would be the plan do you think, cover or rotation player for centre pair?
