It doesn't sound great tbf, only one team going for the 2nd goal as it stands and it aint us. We need to get some confidence back today really, as Cov's team really isn't any great shakes - let's be honest.
Must have another knock, which wouldn't surprise me. Always seems to go like this with him, gets a spell of games, gets an injury....and then for the rest of the season he's just stop start.
I'd be surprised.
The club have been tracking this player for around 10 months. They wouldn't have got this far down the line without investigating and researching any potential work permit situation, they've offered him terms and the club the fee...all pending the work permit, which as i said and as I've been told is a formality.
I think it's a move he had to make, he would have just stagnated here. It's good that he's getting the games and has progressed, you could see he had talent when he made his debut against PNE years ago. He has a real presence about him.
I loved the chart they put up at the start of the Hudders game.
Showed the top goal scorers across all the leagues...Rhodes top obviously, but Lambo was in there too, in amongst rooney, Deba Ba etc.
It might not continue until then, they might come to an agreement tomorrow for all we know. At the end of the day we don't know.
All we can be sure of, and what is a fact, is that we are actively pursing numerous players.
Exactly...you get it. We're not targeting rejects anymore, we're targeting first choice players that clubs don't really want to let go.
and we don't want to pay over the odds, so it becomes a negotiating situation.
I think alot of it is just bemusement.
The fact that we threw away the Bale clauses and signed a guy on a 5 year deal that cannot get in a blue square south team. Frightening really.
Even when we signed him Malcolm Webster was totally against it as he thought he was ****, and that's one of the reasons he was shown the door.
