I'm sure Adkins wouldn't lie about this to us. He says Lee is coming this week, that's good enough for me.

We definitely need him in sooner rather than later. Good news at last.

I reckon Cardiff will murder us if we play like that again.

Crikey, I hope your wrong!

I don't think he's good enough. Poor crosser and passer of the ball, and runs down too many blind alleys.

I would be staggered if he thought that.

Good point. I've never seen a player run down as many blind alleys as De Ridder.

He's back next game.

We need a few players back from injury/suspension and a couple of quality signings. Totally pointless thread.

Surely we've got better youngsters than DeRidder?

An excellent well-reasoned post.

Bandwagon jumping.

That obviously comes before us then.

Hope he brings Richardson on in the second half.

Falque on the left and Cork on the right then. We are unlucky with injuries on the training ground.

It's a tough league but we're in a great position because we play good football, and no other team was good enough to go above us when we had our December blip.

Plenty of people in my company have relocated overseas, Australia, Dubai, Africa, and it honestly didn't take as long as this move. So although I haven't done it myself I know it doesn't have to take this long. Meanwhile, we have a game tomorrow night and our main striker is suspended. It would have been nice to have had him available. I'm happy to say I'm definitely not your son.

Absolutely spot-on.

Footballers move from country to country all the time. It's part of their job. It doesn't take other players this long to 'sort out their affairs'. I don't know if he's going to sign or not, but I'm just not happy that he's not here in time for Monday. In my industry people move jobs from country to country. It doesn't take long, even for ones that have gone to Dubai. We needed him here in time for Monday. I still think there is some sort of complication. I hope it gets sorted out soon.

He's got one or two tricks up his sleeve too.

Pretty much. His agent can take care of most of his business. I am slightly annoyed that he's not available for Monday because he's got to sort his gas bill out.

Missed that, what else did he have to say?

I don't buy it, sorry. It feels to me like something's gone wrong with this transfer.

Surely his agent could have handled the logistical side of things.

Great player. Shame he was workshy though.
