Losing Bateman would be a big blow, but on 2022 form he's not irreplaceable, let's be honest. KPP more than capable of filling that void, for a year at least. Although if it's true and the club knew Bateman was leaving, letting Nicholson go to Wire now seems like a real slip up.
Singo can go for me, he's had good games here and there but he's pretty average for the most part and his PTB is so slow at times it's looking more and more Clubb'like. Plus would anyone say he's in front of any of Cooper, Byrne, Havard, Ellis, Mago? Ok he does more minutes than Mago, but has far less impact. And he was ahead of Ellis for the business end, but that was more down to a drop in form from Ellis 2nd half of the year than an upturn in form from Singo. Ellis from early 2022 gets in over Singo everyday day of the week. Good squad player, but if he can get more money and longer contract from Leigh, then fair play to him.
