We all got a bit excited when Oriol came back but it was very obvious that his lack of match practice & lack of pace made him look very exposed in the few minutes he's had on the pitch. So, was it a desperate mistake to bring him back. We haven't got a very good track record when bringing back golden oldies. Must learn from our mistakes & NOT even consider bringing JWP back.

I thought we signed him to play at least a chunk of the games and to be a leader type player. Looks like yet another Clown Republic PR disaster before Oriel swans off back to Sunny Spain. |  | |  |

I saw the question asked" should we pounce on him ?" I like the word "pounce" as much as the next man, but it would normally describe a wily fox leaping onto a tasty plump farmyard chicken. So before" pouncing" SR need to decide is he a plump chicken or a 3 week old, half eaten, mouldy KFC chicken nugget. |  | |  |

Maybe Sport Republic are hoping to appease the fans with some silverware. We could soon be able to field a team of veteran players capable of winning the Hampshire walking football league. |  |

A plan as cunning as a pouncing fox, Baldrick. |  | |  |

It might be in the dim and distant, but Micky Channon, Graham Baker, Alan Ball and Kevin Davies were all good/great re-recruits. More recently, with Dibling we made a net gain. Ok, Lallana and Walcott maybe not, but overall we've done ok. |  |

Agreed, historically we've had some success bringing back old players, but not under the ownership of SR. Their record is abysmal. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

That's the point, and do we really trust SR with any incoming signings? |  |

You forgot to throw in the £125k a week he's on and contract until 2027 some time which will be an absolute major factor no matter where he goes WHammers would have to throw a big slice of that to us before our lot would even think about taking him (which I hope they don't) |  |
