    It just goes to show there is a wealth of talent in the lower leagues at the likes of Bury / MK Dons. Credit to our scouting system for unearthing two gems.

    I'm astounded that no one else has come in for Brittain sooner. He looks a natural championship player in the wingback position. If he maintains the current level of consistency it's gonna be a close call between him and styles for player of season. What a find.

    I think the amazing thing with Callum no.2 was he didnt need time to bed in
    Stepped up seamlessly.

    He has been an amazing find, and he plays like he has been at this level for a few seasons

    Astonishing that no one else moved for Brittain before us. What a player the lad is, so much composure on the ball.

    I’d love to know why we didn’t sign him when released by MK in June.

    We'd have had to pay compensation. The amount paid to MK Dons in transfer fee when we signed him was less than the compensation due in June.

    that would have been the case if they offered him a contract and he chose to leave but all reports were they released him... and then resigned him in August.

    Has anyone settled at this club quicker than Brittain has? He plays like he’s been here/ at this level for years.

    Great find. Just gutted we can’t give him a nice ponty welcome just yet.

    Best signing of the season, I'm so glad my assessment of him was correct. I gave him quite a build up in posts after he signed. Brittain could end up being worth 8 figures, the full back, wing back position now is vital for big teams challenging.

    In the murky world of Football it wouldn’t surprise me if it came out we asked him to resign at MK and then would sign him as it would be cheaper.

    you are aware if your contract ends then you are by default released.

    had they offered him a new one by the time he left?

    If we risked missing out because of having to pay compensation, it seems a risky strategy to me.

    Craig Hignett settled in pretty quickly. Daniel Nardiello and Luke Steele did alright.

    Callum Brittain has stepped into out team and immediately doesn't look out of place in the Championship. He looks like he's played for us for a season already. He's definitely made the step up and absolutely a great find
