Obviously you are correct. However, Gus keeps saying how he wants his squad for as much of preseason as possible, and how players need to learn to play his style of football. Better late than never, but better sooner than later.
I would also love to see Bobby back. If not this year, I think we will be beyond his ability given his age. I think it is now or never for him to return.
We still need a top quality center half. ElAbd is too small, and the youngsters need to develop. Greer is ok as one, but the second "first choice" one is still required.
