General Fosu and Baptiste - The Athletic

We did have a replacement on our books for most of last season who could have stepped into the Baptiste role ...

Sadly George Thorne really was being held together by splints and sellotape. If we could have extracted a few more games from him with his obvious talent, who knows where we could have ended up.
I think the senior squad limits have probably put paid to signings like that of Thorne in the future. It's one thing (if a club can afford it) to sign a player as a bit of a punt when you can have as many senior players as you want and you can give a player a 'get paid as you play' contract. Now that is potentially a waste of one of your 22 places (that's just 20 next season).
