Yep, budget is a consideration that I don’t really go in to as I don’t know the intricacies. If Bate’s signing would stop us spending another dime, forget it, at least until someone like Cam moves on. I accept that scenario might be why he isn’t on our radar.
But why would Bate be joining as backup? Why put a tag on it? He’d be joining a club where he’d have to earn his position and McGuane and Brannagan would need to reach a higher level than last year to keep him out. You’re only backup if you’re not as good as what’s playing already. Unless you’re a younger player looking for minutes, I don’t see why anyone should be assured game time. Earn it.
A majority would helpWe need some more physicality for sure. We don't need it from each and every one of our players.
I thought he was unable to play because of the hand injury, not because he wasn’t in Manning’s plans?There’s as much chance of Bate coming back as Ireland winning the Lord’s Test.
He’s (sadly) simply too small.
Plus ,and more importantly, if Manning had rated him he’d have kept him on till the end of the season.

I was there for that game, Gazza was incredible, probably the best single performance I've ever seen from a player.I remember Paul Gascoigne against us in an FA Cup tie against Spurs. We played pretty well (Martin Foyle scored a couple, I think) but he basically destroyed us on his own.
Agree 100%. At the Friday meeting Robinson told us it was incredibly hard to sign another striker with Taylor in the building as everyone thought he'd be our de facto number 9 (before then saying Ipswich had about 6). We need to have much higher standards as a club, and fanbase, than saying we've already got a couple of midfielders so don't need a third because we might have to bench one of them. Competition for places is something to be encouraged, not be scared of.But why would Bate be joining as backup? Why put a tag on it?

His positional awareness needs to improve, he makes us very narrow if he’s playing on the right as he drifts inside and leaves no option for a pass and with long not really getting forward we just play everything centrally. He’s a winger. Needs to stay wide, undoubtedly talented lad though.TG is so exciting to watch. He must stay in first team squad.
Always had a cunning plan.Good old Joff Aldrick.
14th June.When does the transfer window open?
