If it looked CERTAIN that Bridcutt was leaving - to the point that you'd resigned yourself to him going. And then, he came out and unexpectedly changed his mind and decided to stay, would that not give you 'a boost'?

I think it would give us a massive boost heading into Leeds on Saturday. But I can't see him being anywhere near our starting eleven yet, especially with him not having any pre-season games under his belt.

A BOOST to you, not the squad.
The potential return of Spanish Dave makes me feel all optimistic and, I'm not afraid to say, a little bit gooey inside.

I think we can expect announcement in the following order Kemy (who knows why he hasn't been announced yet) > Spanish Dave > An unknown LB > potentially an attacking midfielder.

Gifted player, proven at this level and loves playing for us. What is not to like?
I would be AMAZED if the left back is 'unknown'. AMAZED.

what with him contributing a couple of unforgettable Albion moments I was feeling very cosy about him being 'one of us', was a bit sad when he left, would feel a bit happy if he returned .... as posted before similar to when Calde sort of left but came back .... not as PRONOUNCED as my feelings re Calde because he the man

I will also just add briefly, if this does happen, as appears to be likely, then well done to all parties for making it so. No doubt at all in my mind that he could have gone elsewhere for more money so gracias to Bloom/Barber/Dave and even his agent, the leech. 
Now that would be worth voting for!

I meant unknown in the sense that a name doesn't appear to have been mentioned other then that guy from football rumours.

Yes. But he is probably the best midfield player in his position in the division and our best player by far for the last two seasons.
And as I said, the question asked if it gave us a BIG boost. As pleased as I am Lopez looks likely to stay - and I am - I wouldn't describe it as a big boost. Just a nice, timely, lift.
If the question had been "Are you happy to see Lopez stay?" I think almost everyone would have said yes.

All of this.
Brilliant at free kicks and pens and would have been gutted if we'd lost him to another champ team.
Welcome home Dave, now it's onward and upward from here

Am I missing something here? Spanish Dave hasn't been announced yet, so let's not get our hopes up till he has signed on the dotted line.

I think someone needs to post that free-kick animated gif edit thing to remind people just what sort of player we are talking about here.
And of course, plenty more excuses to bounce the "what does he do?" thread over the course of the season.

I'd be we'll happy, quality player, great attitude and has great experience.
Re lb, attacking midfielder and striker as alluded to by Andy Naylor, I would imagine these WILL cost cash and will come from Espana?
