hypochondriac

Thanks... Knob. Are we just ending posts with generic insults now?

Nope. On the face of it I think it's a poor signing. Certainly underwhelming and not the standard I was expecting. Having said that we don't actually know how he will do here and of course I hope he does well. No contradiction.

Agree. Don't think we would have signed Bertrand if we wanted this guy.

Perfectly relaxed thanks.

What are you on about? No idea how he will do here, hope he does well. Not particularly enthused by his signing though. What's wrong with that?

We arent anything like everton who signed top quality loans. We have a load of money let's spend some please.

Quite a few times. Mate is also a villa season ticket holder and wasn't impressed. Said he started well but was then pretty ****e.

Eh? Make sense sir! What I described is what happens every time some posters say they aren't keen on a signing. Give them a chance! Is the normal reply, as if saying you don't think he is good means you are then incapable of supporting him when he actually starts playing for us.

No more loans please.

Potential signings won't sign because some people on this forum are underwhelmed by a signing?

Standard saintsweb. Player signs, some people say it's an underwhelming signing and then the usual suspects react with apoplectic rage that someone could say that. Only allowed an initial opinion as long as it's positive!

He won't get a better chance to perform than here. Let's hope he does.

Would be odd to sign both Bertrand and him but I would be pleased with that if it happened. Would mean that if Ryan wasn't up to it we would have a decent replacement as long as we get another cb as well.

Probably fostered from signing quality like lovren and wanyama.

I don't think anyone would moan about us spending too much!

Clyne is better than Bertrand from what I have seen.

That seems like an awful lot. England premium I suppose.

Yeah there is an element of this.

Bit odd that people think he won't get support. Of course he will get support, doesn't mean you can't see this as an underwhelming signing and a big step down from what we had previously

Micky fialka?

Rubbish signing.

I thought we had a load of players who were rushing to sign for us?

Still a good player tho

Tbf it's a bit premature to call him an upgrade on Lovren. Lovren is top class.
