Apols if this has been covered elsewhere in the thread, but if Joe comes back should he get the courtesy of not having to go on the roof?

Parachute off the roof!

Was there a roof when he left? If not he should go up and inspect it.

Given he was here when we beat United then yes....yes there was.

Joe should do it on Shedman’s roof!

Just been told this is definately happening someone close to the family and club. I suppose this is not News really but another move to confirmation. 

Just need to wait and see.

Hopefully..

A player with two Championship promotions, played in the EPL and on a free transfer.

Cover/competition for Pring, and able to play wide left (where he started his career), it really strengthens that left side - especially with Pring, Naismith, and Atkinson on that side as well.

Lots of other Championship sides interested in him, but it seems he wants to come back here - fantastic for us.

Edit: He's one of our own

Continuing to be a generally excellent bloke as well. Mens mental health thing he's doing with Sky.

I suspect not everyone has Instagram so there's a screenshot for those without.

This is nearing the size of a Nolan’s tribute act.

If you re-read what I said, I didn’t make any allegations, I hypothesised a potential outcome. I also said I didn’t definitely think that would happen. My point is, generally speaking, I would prefer us to sign young, hungry players who are motivated to forge a successful career and are on the up. Not players who are at the latter end of their career who have, potentially, already achieved much of what they wanted to within their careers. 
I loved Joe Bryan, but we won’t necessarily get that same player back- I very much hope we do and my fears are unfounded.

Always a mistake to take to take back an ex-employee. I was never a Bryan fan - sorry. Only my opinion

Poorly researched piece. Where is the stuff about him wanting a cushy life on a 3 year contract?

The problem is that a hypothesis has to be assessed against evidence. Given what we know about his history and character I don't see any evidence supporting a speculation that he might have the wrong motives.

You are correct, we are not getting the Joe Bryan back that left us. We are getting a better more experienced Joe Bryan back.

He's only 29

[bcfc01]

If we were to get a player who had twice got promotion from this division, who had played in the EPL, who is still only 29, on a free transfer, and whose name isn't Joe Bryan, would we get these sorts on here moaning ?
