Curran would've still been under contract last season, wouldn't he?
That would've been a bit awkward had he not left.

Hope I’m proved wrong but Ricky for me isn’t pacey enough for centre mid and he isn’t going to gain any more pace at his age. I understand he’s young but I also don’t think he’s good enough-particularly for a 3 year contract. Tag me in when I’m proved wrong 😃

You can get by ably in centre mid without being quick, if other attributes are there. Take Andrea Pirlo. Hardly a whippet. What Aguiar has is an eye for goal, particularly from range, and a range of passing. This could be his breakthrough season, although the sheer numbers in centre mid mean a Conference or other L2 loan could do him wonders to get game time.

Doughty was a bit of a slouch but I’d imagine most would sell their granny to have him playing back here

None of our midfield are overly quick, cost use hugely last year

Happy with this and relieved to see us tie down our young talent. He clearly has tremendous technical ability and potential.

The game at home against Walsall when we won 5-0 was when he shone and scored 2 fine goals the second a beauty arriving late to smash home. That game showed glimpses of what he is capable of. We are well stocked in midfield but its great to have options like R.A, especially as we cab use 5 subs this season.

I imagine he could be a good choice for free kicks if we don’t farm him out on loan. There were some clips on Twitter of a “control and shoot” drill poster a few weeks ago and his technique and power from the shot was excellent.

You know what, it’s just nice to have options for once.

China Red just told me we nearly signed Will Grigg according to Sandro. Is he pulling my leg?

Was this on the TalkSport interview that I asked someone to summarise because I was unable to listen?

No it was on the bbc wilts phone in. Caught the last 15mins where he mentioned this and also an unnamed midfielder which would have been a marquee signing but signed for a league 1 club instead

The midfielder sounds like Jack Payne, no?
