You'd have to question how committed Niall would be?
Thinking in his head he was off to the land of milk and honey and £8kpw?
....Then having to come back looking like he's not wanted and re-signing for £3k pw?
I'd have him back, but that would be a question mark possibly.
And if he did, would we be potentially overloaded with players as wide &/0r attacking midfield?
Potentially McGinn, Stewart, Christie, McLean, Maloney (assuming he did sign).
not forgetting Scott Wright.
Great to have options, but I'd sacrifice one of them for a good quality, reliable centre half that's a 7 out of 10 every week.
