We don’t have any other choice now but to go with Lindsay Go to bed you're hysterical. Name other options?

It's pretty clear he was desperate to go though, and while he was one of our better centre halves, we're hardly waving goodbye to Franco Baresi. Generally he rose or fell to the level he was playing at.
Don't think it's an enormous loss. Had zero desire to see him at left back ever again and it's one less barrier to the progress of the young centre backs and even Tymon, if it means Fox has his hands full at centre half rather than as the world's least attacking full back since Nigel Worthington.

BMI is a better player than both Fox and Chester. Could we have financed his wage by leaving those 2 at their old clubs? Fox is a better left back than Indi. It's not his fault he has been played out of position as a wing back and left sided CB. It’s not his fault but we shouldn’t of signed him then because he doesn’t fit in to the system that MON wants to go with

He wasn't very good last season at all. Fox as a CB is a real concern tho. I get the feeling that MON didn't think BMI would leave or wasnt expecting it, and now he's left with fox until Collins gets into the frame or Shawx is fit?

Just making room for the return of big Kev I wouldn't actually be surprised. Stranger things have certainly happened in football. He could make a return at some point and become an unlikely hero as we build our new team blending youth and experience! It would be like a TV comedy script writer when they run out of ideas for the third series and bring in a distant cousin or someone's divorced ex wife.

Don't think he'll be picking from anyone but the 2 left-footers - Fox and Lindsay - for that left-sided role. We might muddle through - but can't believe we bought Fox in with that in mind. He's basically never played there apart from 1 or 2 games for Sheff Wed Whether this now makes Lindsay unloanable as we now need him for back-up will be interesting. There's maybe a chance we'll be loaning in a specialist centre-half who can play on the left of a three? Or we could be planning on moving back to a 4 relatively soon?

He clearly didn't want to be here. He's on big wages. He wasn't exactly brilliant and was regularly slated on here, even when he playing CB. We have Souttar, Collins, Chester, Batth, Lindsey and Fox for the 3 CB roles.
Good move for both parties.

The manager of course also has the option of playing a back 4 If Fox gets injured, he won't play one of that lot on the left of the 3 ahead of Lindsay, will he? He seems to see the left-footedness as a key part of that role - hence why Fox is even an option there?

I'm just a bit baffled where this whole idea of playing Fox there - and as a first-choice no less - has sprung up from. It's a bit weird

One left footed defender for a back three or four fox might be a bit dodgy but more importantly he better stay fit given the manager has already said Tymon is no left back .

Even more reason to swap back to a back four now. Just Morgan Fox on the left of a three is dangerous. However, it is (bizarrely) more easier to play right footers on the left of a two than it is on the left of a three. Not bothered about Bruno leaving. He wanted to go. Can't really defend or be bothered about someone that refused to play for us.

It's a bit weird I was actually surprised to see Chester was right footed when he arrived last season. He always seemed to play on the left of the back line and Pulis even played him left back at WBA, which I believe, was why he eventually left for Villa.

I think Dave posted that Bruno was universally liked, not amongst staff and players. He certainly wasn't ever a bad apple.

Only purt a couple of decent performances in to get the move that suited him. Never liked his attitude since he's been here. Best off out the road.

Thought he did ok in the main, even after his move fell through I thought he was no worse than the others. I'll happily send him off with the finger now though. 'Dead to me'

They've also said the manager gets final say on ALL transfers but you seem to be ignoring that. Which isn't entirely true is it? He's got a say but not when we need to get some high earners off the book. Then he has to lump it. I'm pretty sure if he came to them and said he wants/needs him to stay it would happen, we've been pretty good in recent years with backing the manager, but then we're both taking a guess on it really and no one actually knows. I don't care who gets the stick for this one particually but either way the formation now has to change to get the best out of whats left.

The reality of FFP and Covid is starting to bite. We have too many central defenders, and as a high earner unfortunately he’s surplus to requirements. He’s a good player but struggled to adapt to life in the championship so it not a disaster. Yeah too many cbs, so he signs Chester then also signs a lb and plays him cb as well. We can’t shift Bauer or Wimmer though can we? I’m sure he’d rather get rid of those two off the wage bill first but there’s no takers.
