It's just a rumour for now, but if it's true his signing would be welcome. He seems to be over his injury woes.

I can’t see it happening, when we first switched to a back 3 we started to struggle to find a place in the side for him. We basically built the side around Ruben and he got shifted all over the place. He did play in the attacking midfield role but that was in the National League, League 1 is another level, and he's definitely more suited to playing as a winger.

I like Cal but if it’s true, I’d seriously start to question Richard Montague's obsession is with signing wingers when we play a formation without wingers.

To replace Maz? Re the question of wingers, Jodi is a winger , not a wing back! Roberts / Bennetts as reserve wide players for next season?

    It's semantics really. We have promotion seasons now with Nemane and JJ playing key roles. They're wingers - but remember Nemane's block v Boreham Wood? And JJ does his best to get back and defend under orders from MP. Another example was Calvin Miller, who was on fire for us as winger/wing-back for a short time.

    Fans can label them what they want. The important thing IMO is that there's cover behind them. The LCB and the whole team is designed to slide over to cover attacks on that side. But if that wing-back/winger doesn't attack down that side? There's nobody to 'cover' that. That's why LW had to transform Chicksen and he got 11 goals in that promotion season.

    If you look at the video of Cal's best goals for Scunthorpe they mainly seem to come from the No.10 position. In Scunny's system he was r-side attack in a 4-3-3.

    If he comes back there's no way in the world he'd play left-winger or LWB unless we're chasing games at home. JJ can just about manage the defensive duties but Cal showed us that he really can't. In our system he'd be right side No.10 I think, but that'd mean we need a Iorpenda-type player (with more goals) on the other side. And Cal returning would probably mean we're not keeping Tangan?

    It'll be interesting to see what happens over the next few days.
