    Crewe left back / wing back. Seems to be one of the more highly rated full backs outside the top two leagues. Would’ve liked to see us in for him.

    Surely we can compete with them for wages, simply by paying them

    I think we've been linked with him in the past, as I recall making the same Ronnie Pickering joke.

    No idea on his talent other than him being highly regarded. I do like the idea of signing a LWB though as we're lacking in that area and I think we'd probably universally agree that it isn't Styles' best position.

    I would think that if a LWB is coming in for close to a million pounds, then a certain midfielder might depart for a similar fee before the end of the month. Because the replacement for said midfielder is already at Oakwell.

    He's a player we should be looking at. Not sure if we are or not.

    It's OK to say Alex Mowatt's name. It's not like he's Voldemort or anything like that lol :)

    I wouldn’t read too much into it. We might be needing a replacement for the replacement of said midfielder at some point in the next 12 months anyway.

    Possibly. But my main point was that if we're replacing Mowatt, it's with Styles, so signing a highly rated and promising LWB could be us preparing for some activity out. I can't see us letting Mowatt run his contract down as it just doesn't make financial sense to me.

    Me neither. I think any remaining transfer activity might be dependent on Mowatt leaving. I'd like to see Styles in the middle so it's a no brainer for me. Sell Mowatt sign a LWB and another forward. Then move out Miller and Schmidt.

    I`d like Styles left where is at the moment and gradually introduced centrally when appropriate.

    Although he's been known to work a bit of magic now and again.

    Oh no, course not. He's more like Harry Potter. He even puts his invisibility cloak on for the odd match. ;)

    Not sure those signing on fees will be as substantial as they once were, not until fans are back at least.
