I'd SNAP Westlake up and play him as out attacking central midfielder.

Boomer Sooner
As would I.
Good call Richard P! We need someone alongside Thommo who can do more than pass the ball square.

Too much money though surely ??

On a SHED load at Leeds.
BUT was left at home when they went off on their pre-season trip and looks like he is surplus to requirements.
Possibly a long-term loan with us paying a bit of his wages might be advantagous for both clubs.
I heard one rumours from a friend in Leeds that he was on as much as 15k a week!
Shame, because I think he would add some real balance and attacking threat to our midfield.
McLeod Westlake Thomson Cox
That would be DECENT.

Agree that would be an awesome four across the midfield
£15,000 per week even if we paid a third that would be a lot for a club like ours

Especially when we waste money on players like Mayo and Hart...

Richie you know we will never see eye to eye on this
Where else would we get seasoned professionals that good for that money?

The conference?

So who would you bring in from the conference then??
The professional scouts at the club got Dixon
What makes you think there are better?

Well that is where Hart and Mayo would have ended up had we not re-signed them...

One of them had a decent league offer
heard he was on about £7k and we were paying half when he was on loan. Think he would be a good signing and could play central.

With respect I would rather have not signed either of them and spent the money getting Westlake in on loan for the season.

I agree but as its been sent before in this tread - its what Dick wants

The money from them two wouldn't cover 30% of £15,000
If what Drew said is true and it was £7,000 then i would have to reconsider

Even if he is on more and Mayo and Hart's wages wouldn't cover it they would have given us more cash to put TOWARDS covering it which again, would have been a better way of spending that money.
I would also suggest Adam Virgo's wages would have been better spent on Westlake.

As far as I can see we have El Abd, Elphick, Lynch, Hawkins and Hinshelwood who will all be competing for central defensive positions WITHOUT Virgo.
We have nobody who is a natural attacking central midfield player like Westlake and he could have also slotted in on the left hand side when McLeod is missing.
I know who I would rather have signed.
