As much as we all want a superstar signing announcement, this makes sense. He's actually been playing well before his injury and is more than capable of actually being a primary playmaker unlike Foran who as good as he is, doesn't handle the ball as much as what you'd want from someone with his experience and pay packet. We need experience in the halves now and we shouldn't be committing to either Green or Foran long term.
Hopefully we can lure Burton or someone similar next season but if not, we needed a contingency plan rather than being held to ransom by Foran and his management. Barrett is more than likely planning a complete revamp of the spine in 2022.
