    A great bloke and definitely more than capable at this level.

    Interesting. Good age and experience. Could do a lot worse. Would definitely improve the defence.

    Be surprised if true. Was a good player for us and he once scored a last minute equaliser against the Fowls which earns him a bonus with me. However, he’s not played too many games in recent times and Exeter didn’t want him so it’d be a bit underwhelming.
    He’s a free agent though so you never know.

    Loved his equaliser against Wednesday but never particularly rated him, especially when he didn't have Robbo's steadying influence beside him. Saw him play for Aberdeen a couple of seasons ago and he was gash. Came on as sub at 0-0, within ten minutes Hearts were 2-0 up.

    Yes, he was great with Roberts, but once he became the senior centre back his performances dropped off.

    I don’t think his performances dropped off due to Roberts leaving. I think there were a few personal issues that affected him.

    Agreed. A decent player but I think massively overrated by some. Dropped off when Roberts wasn't there. Personally, think it would he a little underwhelming as a signing.

    He became really ill though, he had DVT, then a blood clot, then bowel cancer. We had the whole controversy around his iron levels. We don’t know how long those things had been affecting his performance.

    He was a young centre half signed from non league and thrown into a Championship team. He's gone on and had a good career and I think it'd be class to have someone with his experience in as an option.

    That's a very fair point. He'd probably not be a bad option as a stop-gap, but only that.

    No thanks, he wouldn’t be an improvement on what we already have, that’s how much I rate him. Either pay some money for someone to improve us, cos that’s what we need right now, to improve, the defence is shocking.

    From reading Exeter's forum, they can't afford to keep him rather than not wanting him.

    I definitely wouldn't be opposed to him here for a year to be cover for Roberts. Having looked on Exeter's forum, they felt he did a job for them at this level last season. Barring a spell at Swindon in league 2, the majority of his career has been spent at this level or above.

    I think that’d be a smart move. Experienced at this level, available on a free, knows Conor. Do it Mladen.

    Would be an awful signing, in my opinion.

    Would have been useful last night beside Shepard.

    There will be far better options out there.
