I think this man deserves his own thread.

Possibly the best league two central midfielder we’ve had since…?

Excellent player and has been fantastic for town.

Can't quite remember his contract? Did we sign him? I know he has played at a few levels above (and it shows) but ultimately he must only be here to get his fitness back up and to put himself in the shop window? I have no problem with this. He has probably kept this club playing league football next year. We are better for having him here.

I think it was 18 months so under contract for next season too.  I’ve been really impressed with Thompson, so good at shielding the ball, retaining it and snuffing out danger.

Two great signings in Thompson and Tharme.  Next season the team needs to be built around a spine of Tharme, Thompson and Rose.  2-3 more players of their quality could tip us towards a top half team

I've been impressed with DA's January recruitment and I'm sure he'll bring the right players in during the close season.

As much as Conteh was a quality player, I think Thompson had been an upgrade and has shown the leadership to drag the rest of the team along with him.  A great bit of business.

No more 2 or 3 quality players to be built round the likes of Thompson and Tharme please!!!  We need 11 quality players to start the season or we will fall into the same trap again of not having enough quality in the side. It only takes 2 or 3 injuries to your best players and your back to square one again. If we stay up we need different thinking or it will.be more of the same...

Conteh will exceed Thompsons level of ability but he isn't anywhere near Thompsons level without the ball. I know which player I'd prefer in that holding role at the moment and he chews gum and gobs off at opponents.

Agreed.

Conteh will end up laying at a higher level I think, but Thompson is better in the here and now at this level.
