I am more than pleased that we now have Dennis Politic on an extended contract. However I do not see him as a winger as the BN describes. I was very impressed with his midfield attacking performance agains Pompey alongside Ronan Darcy. Together they formed a really promising attacking midfield duo, one which with the support of a really strong defenisive midfielder like Bridcutt and a good subsidiary striker, and winger of Verinden's quality alongside Daryl Murphy could see us climbing the table fast. I do not know if Politic has been played as a winger as an introduction of a young player to league football while he gets stonger, which has often happened to quality youngsters in the past, e.g. Bobby Charlton, but to me he looked last Saturday a highly promising all-round combative midfielder in a more central attacking role,
We must also hope for a return of players like Bridcutt and Verlinden in the holding and wing roles, and perhaps another striker to play with Murphy. Hope transfer activity hasn't permanently stalled.

I fully agree Kenglo and would like to see Denis played more centrally. He has the skills of a winger, which is where he played for the Development Squad of course but I don’t think he has the pace needed. His physical strength, powerful shot and eye for a goal makes me think he’s wasted out wide and like you I feel, would be far more use to us supporting Murphy. Maybe that’s why KH has given him an extended deal and sees him more in that role. Like you, I think alongside Darcy and Murphy we could be prolific. Whether we’ll get Bridcutt back is doubtful and so is a return for Verlinden but we should have Ali Crawford back soon for midfield and Dodoo is pretty useful wide until we can find a good winger. I’m sure there will be a couple lined up before the window ends but it will probably be another last minute thing for the targets we have. Whoever we get though I’d rather they are potential permanent signings which neither Bridcutt or Verlinden would be.
