Doubt we fancied signing up to 3 years, but they are, in an attempt to appease/impress/fool their support into believing they are going to be superior. Our fairly conservative board are going to win out, patience not prudence I think we enquired about him but soon after, moved on to other targets. Clubs make enquiries about dozens of players in transfer windows. If the sheep think it’s anything other than that more fool them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probs better for his development than playing league two football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're very similar players and play the same "number 8" role. McEneff has more pace and more of an engine and seems to prefer to run with the ball whereas Lee preferred to pass it. And I don't know where this McEneff to RWB thing has come from. Sounds utterly insane to me and I really can't see how he fits into that role. As you say totally different kind of player for that position . So bizarre to think they're similar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't make them chalk and cheese, and certainly doesn't mean that saying they are similar is the worst thing anyone has ever said on here.
