I saw there was some chatter around Aribo, what's the forums view on bringing him back? Could probably get him for around 1.5million although I'd imagine he'd need to take a pay cut. But if he wants to play again and get his groove back, he could be a useful signing in my opinion.

He's out of contract and not playing so for me no reason to pay up front for him and keep his 50k a week up. Sign him on a Bosman and if Southampton want then we pay half his wage till the end of the season.

Personally I'd have Aribo back. He's better than anything we have and a big unit. He knows the league and has performed in Europe. It would be cost dependent thou and he'd need better players around him but if he's a free or a minimal fee I think given where we are now and the standard we're at I'd take him.
I understand the "he's 29, no sell on value" but you can't have a team of youngsters or players you want to flip you need 4/5 experienced players.

70k a week he'd have to take a massive pay cut and I'm not sure he's what we need right now. As much as I think he's class need to remember he had some workhorses behind him back then.

If he takes a massive wage cut I'd have him back for sure. Surprised it's really not worked out that well for him down south. He's about the only one I'd bring back.
