Oh I get what you're asking.

I just 'assumed' that with the Kanta deal our club must be keen on getting a marquee(s?).
I'd just be throwing all our scouting behind securing the best possible player for, what is, surely one of the most important positions on the field.

Nicholls is no where near the standard required at that position to win the comp.

I'd argue he played his best football as a essentially squaddie at the roar.

Playing next to Dimas and Nico and WSW made him an afterthought for opposition teams to worry about.

I just don't see how he'd fit into a Merrick style team either.

But we agree he's got a proper punchable face yeah?
