Heart wanted him back, head said it’s a terrible idea to bring back a loanee off the back of an injury prone season

An absolute steal at 4M. Honestly at this point I don’t care if Bielsa rated him or not, some no brainers like this should happen. We need 2 quality CBs anyways in this window and we should be hoarding players like Bartley at 4M.

Yeah. Very disappointing. It’s harder to justify when we also let go O’Connor, talk of Berardi now playing as a CB and not a single CB signing in sight. If we got 2 players better than him, but at that price, it’s a bargain for WBA.

Is this because Bielsa doesn’t want him Phil? Or because we cant afford him? At present it feels like we’ve blown the budget on a manager and cant get the players we want over the line
