I'm pleased we're not looking to sign Thomas or Greenwood. Neither of them showed enough to convince me that they'd be worth signing on permanent deals.
I'm 50/50 on O'Brien. He's a good player at this level and I felt he was showing signs that he could rediscover his Huddersfield form, after taking a bit of time to get up to speed following his injury.
I can understand though that his wages would have been an issue, and if Hackney ends up staying and we sign O'Brien, then we'll probably end up with a player on high wages sitting on the bench, just as we will if we bring back Archer.
I feel a bit sorry for him really, as I felt he was really putting the graft in to try and win Carrick over.
