Plays in midfield for Ebbsfleet ?

Good, would be seriously annoyed if we signed him. A HUGE backwards step.

I know that Danny would love to come back to the Albion, and that he would not demand high wages to return, he just wants to get back to playing football again, he still lives locally and loves the club and the area, and he is available, a good option to sign, even if just til the end of the season, especially if we have El-Abd now playing in midfield for several weeks due to injuries to Reid and Fraser, His experience would be an asset, and help especially as we have a congested fixture list coming up.

And Butters (now in his very late 30's), was over the last few years? yet he has done well for us hasn't he
Bring Cullip back now, he still has lots to offer

If you insist, just dont think an aging bully centre half is much use in our current position.

Bullying?
Don't you mean someone showing some passion about the game, who wants us to win? surely a good thing!

Totally agree, met him not so long back in HHeath, really nice bloke. Seemed genuinely interested in BHA still. Would love him back as someone to come in if we need him, his experience would be a big benefit, if only till the end of the season.

Yeah if thats all it is, however the way he treated some of the younger players on the pitch was a disgrace at times. I don't think its a coincidence the defence looked better after he left.

The guy is playing at Ebbsfleet for a reason.....and I wonder what that is ??On the point of old players coming back in - there seems to be an on-going rumor about McPhee. Can anyone shed any light on this? I've asked on the Argus site but had no joy. I think its possible as DW was a big fan in the days of the youth team and pushed him forward for his debut at 16 years of age.
Even if there is some truth i don't think they'd be keen to let him go though.
From the Ebbsfleet site:
". . .Chris is an extremely versatile player who, despite being signed as a striker, has played right back, right midfield and centre midfield for the Fleet and shone in all positions"

If McPhee comes back then something is seriously wrong.

looks better, when are you basing that on? this season, last season? when? - Our defense when Danny was here the defense was solid, didn't the clubs record clean sheets in a row get beaten when Cullip was playing, and hasn't there been moans about the defence, and certain players in it over the last 2 seasons

The season he left, and we stayed up in the championship. I would suggest one of the reasons there have been problems since then is we lost players like Harding and Virgo and Hinshelwood had his knee injuries. We went on a 7 league game unbeaten run after he left, the main reason that was broken was because we lost Kuipers to injury for the season.

Virgo played up front, Harding was error prone, he did well for the England under 21's,(but would he have been selected if Peter Taylor wasn't the manager of the u21's?) but he was average for us, Hinshelwood has only had short spells in the team before injury struck, - try again
So for us to get to the championship, didn't our defense have to be pretty solid to win the promotion in the first place while Danny was playing - he was a vocal player, and organised the defense, something that we have definately missed at times since he left

Hinsh played 40 games for us in that championship season before we lost him to injury in March. Swap Virgo for Reid in that case who was solid and whilst Harding may have been error prone (and I would certainly agree he was) we did miss him for a long time when he left.
Yes for us to get in the championship the defence had to be solid and Cullip was an integral part of it (As was Roberts, Harding ect). However that was 3/4 years ago when Cullip was only 27/28 - he is now 31 and not what we need to go forward.
I dont think we are likely to agree on this, Cullip (In my opinion) didn't cope with Championship football and would be a retrograde step if thats where we are looking to go next year.
