Shane Long return??

We should never have sold Long when we did, the same as with Kevin Phillips, they both had something left to give. I still think Long has a few more miles in the tank, however, yes last season he banged in 13 in 34 games (10 in 28 in the premiership), but so far this season it is 1 in 22 in all competitions, 1 in 15 in the premiership.

If we are looking for a £5 mil(ish) back up, then he would be a good bet. If we are looking for someone who can start and bang in 15 a season, as much as I like Long, his work rate for the team and his knack of knowing where to be and when, then Long is not the guy for us.

Still buy him for £5 million though.
