Once a player has gone, then that should be it. For whatever reason it is never the same second time round. I agree that we need a new player with Atkinson style attributes, but if we do that then lets get a new one. Also remember that Atko left because he didn't feel valued (financially as it turned out) by PB, not a good way to go.
It's usually never the same because we re-sign players several years later at the ends of their career when they've severely declined in quality. It's only been 6 months since he left us, I can't see how he could have become that much worse in that short period of time.
