would also mean we could get Orlandi back out on the left side, we miss his delivery from the left badly.

Im sure Ulloa wants him back out there too.

Would give me a pretty big boost, but not massively so.

We really don't have anyone else at the moment who is as good at set-pieces as Dave. So I would be reasonably boosted.

I'd be chuffed. A really strong member of a squad with a great combination of touch and determination. Be ideal if he was quicker and more gazellian, but i'm happy with the person he is and the fact that he knows what to do with us. I would also be pleased with the fact i wouldn't have to buy an alternative freak-faced iPhone casing.

I hope the people who voted both "No" and "Meh" don't mind if I adjust their votes to "Yes" as they seem to have selected the wrong option.

I voted "Meh" as I wouldn't be THAT excited etc. Will be glad if he does return but as far as giving our squad a boost it doesn't really, just puts it back to where it was a few weeks back. Not the same impact as signing a new player.

Lopez is a player I really like and I would much rather have him in our squad than not, but it isn't actually improving our squad from the starting point of last season when he was in it and we all expected him to be staying.

Now signing Upson full time rather than on loan was different. That has given me a boost.

Its nothing against Spanish Dave, who I think is great.

Exactly. All that's happened is that Spanish Dave has missed out on training with the squad and new coach, and we've saved a few weeks' wages.

That would give me a BIG boost. And probably a SEMI.

What are 13 of you on? He's a championship genius .

I am one of those. I am glad he looks likely to return and think he is a good player. But can't get THAT excited about it as it isn't improving our team from last season as such is it? It is just re-signing a player. I am happy he is but the question for the poll referred to a BIG boost.

On a slightly different point, can we start a petition for him to have "Dave" on the back of his shirt instead of "David"?

Great news if he does come back. After a slow start was player of the season for me. Influential, skillful, smart and bloody reliable from set pieces now. And I understand he loves it here - so relatively risk free acquisition.

Those who didn't hit "yes" - consider this. If he had gone to Watford or Leicester or Leeds how would you feel? I'd feel like they'd just signed a potent weapon and I know NSC would have gone into melt down. He's a great signing whichever way you look at it.
