    Craig Hignet was 28 when he signed for us .
    And we still made money on him.

    Lol! Yes there’s no disputing that however it’s becoming glaringly obvious, to me anyways, that players of that ilk are exactly what we are missing as we will always punch above our weight in this league, difference being, back ‘intheday’ that was savvy management of BFC in order to try and compete given our lack of financial clout. We are still in that financial position however have chosen to fill the team ‘potentially promising’ youth. We are miles off that team back then in terms of competitiveness, absolutely miles off imho.

    That was a stroke of luck him coming, mainly due to his personal life. Really cant see another repeat of that scenario unfortunately.

    The £250k spent on Super John has to be one of our greatest bits of business made by the club.

    The fact is we went in for him and got him.

    No chance- every deal this summer was far better joint and severally, culminating in the best transfer window in the club's history.
