Shame they don’t employ agents to help guide them. But of course they do already. Although no one would expect agents to be tax experts to guide their clients, you’d hope at the very least they’d point their client in the direction of legitimate tax advisers rather than those operating questionable (shams) schemes.

Bazunu nowhere near it. Typical.

thought he was quite highly rated as a defensive midfielder, and seen his name mentioned for us on here before. If that's a position we need to fill perhaps we should nip in.

A glowing tribute from a supporter of a former club, and expectations we’ve formed about this bloke. I was hoping he’d bring a bit of a Schneiderlin as a DM but from what I’ve read that doesn’t seem to be his game. But I’m with Gio seeing an element of Steve Williams style in the videos. Anyway if he doesn’t give a Williams - Schneiderlin hybrid performance v the Skates then it’s open letter time to Spors.

Be surprised if we look to move him on so soon.

Fair point of course, but it’s still a physical league played at pace.

Genuinely surprised by that 25 games, especially 12 EPL. Going all statto on you, and putting this on the Carillo scale, most were probably 10 minute cameos as a substitute. Pretty poor return though I agree. Would like to see him come good after what he/we’ve been through but unlikely.

A loan, but surely Mason Holgate deserves a mention

Christ mention the name Orsic and perhaps give this bloke a wide berth.

Any GK will make a mistake from time to time, Sprake threw the ball into his own net once, Shilton “could have done better” - to use the current phrase - v Poland in a WC qualifier (as he later admitted) and at Saints there was Boruc and his attempted Cruyff turn v Arsenal But when a GK is regularly MOM and in teams of the season etc I think supporters accept the occasional mistake. Not a GK who is regularly deemed to be at fault, and makes the occasional save.

Think we’ve dodged a bullet if there was anything in this at all. And I doubt it. Another one in the potential Deadwood2026# club.

Good servant to the club but I thought the consensus was that Romeu had slowed down and no longer up to the rigours of English football. What’s changed ? Nostalgia aside.

Yes, pretty appalled by that from the precocious little prick. It sounded as if he thought he’d be back at West Ham and with a new manager there he’d be a part of their great new future. Reports suggest it was a close thing whether he came back or went to Ipswich, and only the prospect of cuddles from Lego swayed his decision. At the time we were pleased for him to be back as he’d been in important to our style of play. Clearly not EPL standard, although in a crap team. No fight in him now it seems. Would be a shame to sell him to a rival though, unless we recoup our outlay, and have someone else lined up Can hope Casper is an improvement but might be a big ask in his first year in a new country.

Scuffy cunt. Mind you Brendan could be lapsing into Rab C Nesbitt as well.

Over an hour before the first booking so not the most fiercely fought match they’ve ever had. Saw another comment on the BBC site before the game which amused me saying this was expected to be more of a battle between the infirm rather than Old Firm.

Will he wear a suit for the occasion?

That would be beyond good.

It wouldn’t have been a great surprise if Downes had joined Lego at Ibrox. But I suspect this might have been dependent on Rangers getting into the Champions League to fund it. Without that and uncertainty over Martin’s position it now seems unlikely

This remains a missing part of the jigsaw. (And a GK ! - but that won't happen this window).

I think we can discount Spertsyan happening. Surely we only need one of the last three mentioned ?

I think the Miovski rumour was fan led because our then Hd of Recruitment ( Darren Mowbray) had scouted him for Aberdeen.

Great but we need someone to take advantage of that.

Brilliant if true, and if it comes off (But with Saints prepare for disappointment ... deal falls through, usurped by Spanish club at last minute ..... injury in training ... )

Hope not. With the £ coming in for Fernandes we should be more ambitious.

Perhaps this is also our preferred method of scouting and decision making at the club.
