I thought Guy was a good quality defender but he wasn't a footballer and would struggle to keep our passing game from the back, although, he would definitely help keep the defence solid. 50/50 in terms of do I want him back. Can't have it all else he would be playing higher up the league.

Although Guy was great for us in the time he had here - I would be worried to get him back now. There is a reason he is a free agent and it could be he has now gone as a player and cannot keep up with the pace of league football.

Surely Ling is unlikely to want to fill the squad with Buckle's old pals! Ling will want to prove has the contacts and the know-how to pull off a decent deal in this league. Thanks, but no thanks.
Maybe one day, Carayol will find London...

I'm not sure. Branno was solid when he was here only half a year ago and had an absolutely formidable partnership with Ellis at the back. I'd be concerned if we didn't bring in a replacement and had to start Saah, as i'm not convinced he's good enough.

Wouldn't surprised to see him retire, tbh. He's doing some kind of university degree, so it might be a good time for him. I'd have him back, but only because I'm sentimental.

I don't want our club to go anywhere near Branno now. In his time here he was successful and i loed him and thank him for everything but we had the best years of him without a doubt. He left us, went to Bradford and looked like a donkey, then went to Rotherham and looked like a camel! His deficiencies as a footballer brutally exposed. Like i said, legend for me but he isn't good enough for us anymore.

I may be wrong, but didn't Branno actually play more times at the back with Robbo as his partner than Ellis?

I and my friends spoke to him on Saturday and he said he was coming back because Robbo was off to Notts County. Well the last bit was wrong but the first bit is almost certainly right.

Can he do it for us again? I'm not too sure but he is probably being considered as cover for Saah/ Ellis.

So why no announcement?

I for one welcome him back, he was quality last time, adored by the Plainmoor faithfull in a short space of time.

But I still dont understand why no announcement if he was a free agent?

They're probably still negotiating how many puppies he gets to eat before each game.

I would like to see Guy back. He did a cracking job last time he was here, he has a great footballing brain and doesn't do much wrong when he's on the pitch. He enjoyed his time here last and wouldn't be suprised if he wanted to come back.

I wouldn't mind seeing him back but maybe only as someone to replace Ellis or Saah if they were injured as Saah will hopefully now come good. Interestingly if not somewhat ironically the new BBC Sport website has a story on the League Two page about how new signing Guy Branston wants to set Bradford buzzing. Still some kinks to iron out on the new website i think!!

Is this deal even possible? He has played for both bradford and rotherham this year. Im 99% sure that means he is unable to play for anyone this season. I hope im wrong tho lol
