Wow, well if one day you suffer from mental health issues you might not be such a heartless bastard.

Footballers can't suffer from mental health problems then no? They are normal people just like us the last time i checked

Maybe. The point being dont play if your not mentally OK to play.
I have family experience of mental illness so believe me I dont treat it lightly but dont mix the game and the emotion. Take the time away to get your mind right.

But if he signs yes let's hope yet another gamble pays off for a change.

A lot will depend if we get a creative midfielder and a defensive midfielder preferably a leader in the middle like Keates was.

There have been performance issues for a fair few years now - according to quite a few

Everyone is different I guess. For some football will be an escape and in a strange way whatever is happening in their private life may galvanise them. There are plenty of examples of great players whose personal lives were shambolic. Others may struggle physically because of their mental state.

View of a Scottish Wrexile on McIntosh:

"Surely not?! Can't see him being a top striker at that level. Scored 17 last season in fairness but pretty inconsistent. As a squad player, fair enough. I'd not be pinning my hopes on promotion if he's expected to be the number 1 option."
