I’ll correct myself. He came on for Southampton in their last game. So has obviously recovered sufficiently which is a great sign for him. His energy if he could recover the form he showed before his injury would be amazing for us.

I'm thinking of a more experienced left back

Ed Aarons of the Guardian is reporting that Lerma will sign on a free on a 4 year deal.
That move will be a good addition.

I understand the rationale behind this comment !

This reminds me of an incident in bygone days when we played Wrexham at Selhurst Park.
Jim Cannon broke the nose of striker Ian Edwards and in the bar after the game Edwards was giving Cannon a look that would have curdled cream.
Not long afterwards Ian Edwards signed for our club !

Cannon was a tough character.
I recall him having a fist fight with Phil Boyer right in front of me at Selhurst during a heated exchange on the pitch many years ago.
Both players were sent off.
These days they’d probably have been given prison sentences.

I mean, i look back,
