That would be close to perfect wouldn’t it 

It would, Giles attacking play and crosses would add a good element to our play, something different which we currently lack. Latte and Conway would score a few more from his balls in.

Just having the threat changes so much at the minute. Teams are just letting our left back have the ball and pushing the extra man inside with Giles he’d free up space inside for us like before 

There's no guarantee he finds close to the form he was in before thought. Hanging a lot on him being the player he was with Ramsey Archer and Akpom. Im not that convinced he solves big problems right now

If not him we need someone else because that side is killing us at the minute

Maybe Ipswich want him 

Yeah bet there begging for him to come back. Especially after today's performance. He's been awful his last few games

Wonder if its a bit more worrying than just bringing a player in. Seem v flat right now don't we

We could definitely do with some sort of boost from the transfer market now.

Been a tough last month or so, happy moments have been few and far between.

Well it’s either they want him back or we don’t want him. There are times this seasons where he’s been superb. He’s more than okay to be used as backup

Think you have nailed it, the players don't seem to be enjoying it anymore. It seems like they are following instructions to the Nth degree and as a consequence affecting their individual and collective belief and self confidence.

For all the people saying ‘can’t guarantee Giles will do xyz’ honestly what other option do we have? We need a change desperately and we know what he can do and if he delivers that kind of performance again then we will get that change we need. 
 

If Barry costing £10m is true then it will never happen but how about we bring in Giles and Barry for the left and move McGree over to play on the right and cover the gap Jones left as he did when we brought Ramsey in. 
 

Granted it’s an expensive gamble that could ruin next season if it fails but it’s all I can think of 😂

I do think that Bulgarian midfielder story will be true though, I seen he’s apparently a forward but watching his highlights he seemed to be more in the Hackney mould. Definately didn’t look like a wide forward/winger type.

Or it's just that he's going nowhere which is probably the most likely considering the situation.

He could be a quarter of that player and it's still a threat we don't currently have

Is that not the job of the recruitment team to find an option like Giles who is more solid defensively

Still hearing Edmundson is going. 

Wouldn't be bothered at all

Yes but players who can do that are most likely already playing at the top level as it’s basically the perfect left back 😂 The reason Giles is attainable is because he’s not perfect, but when he was here his attacking threat more than made up for any short falls.
