simo Posted 25 January, 2018 Share Posted 25 January, 2018 If he’s there now, it’ll take a few days for he announcement videos. Gone are the days of a simple press conference unveiling. Guess it depends on when we can find a gap in the diary of the SBS and the L.S.O to film the signing video !? (Or maybe we'll knock up another fancy cartoon?)

Simon3737 Posted 25 January, 2018 Share Posted 25 January, 2018 His lawyers will also need a couple of days to go through the five pledges line by line, to make sure he can sign up to them. So far, his lawyers have agreed to “supporting colleagues” and “embracing change”, but they need more discussion about “valuing diversity”...

Badger Posted 25 January, 2018 Share Posted 25 January, 2018 At £19m, I can't help thinking we could have done better for our money. Van Hanegem mentioned a Feyenoord striker linked with Newcastle. Having looked at the brief Youtube clips (yes, okay I know can't be relied upon but..) and read about him he did seem to have a bit more about his game than Carillo. Although to balance that perhaps Carillo hasn't had as much opportunity to showcase his talents at Monaco. So just have to trust Pellegrino's judgement.

Guan 2.0 Posted 25 January, 2018 Share Posted 25 January, 2018 We did incredibly well to sign him, when so many other clubs were interested, and he was such a bargain price. Seriously though, score the goals that keep us up please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doddisalegend Posted 25 January, 2018 Share Posted 25 January, 2018 Lets hope he has the desired effect I'm hoping he is going to be Lambertesque with his head it would be nice to have a forward who attacks the back post with bullet headers.

Ewell Posted 25 January, 2018 Share Posted 25 January, 2018 So was he one of the top targets on the famous black box and would we have signed him if Pellegrino wasn't in charge? Answers on a postcard please but somehow I think not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Boy Saint Posted 25 January, 2018 Share Posted 25 January, 2018 Not a lot of people know this but he cost 47.5 Kevin Keegans............ just hope the 0.50 isn't the perm but the boots to rattle them in with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Chalet Posted 25 January, 2018 Share Posted 25 January, 2018 3.5 year deal. So that’s 18 months if he’s any good and 3.5 years if he’s Gashton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Boy Saint Posted 25 January, 2018 Share Posted 25 January, 2018 Signed in time for Saturday? Going on the media chit chat when Sanchez had to sign for Utd to get in their FA cup squad I think he has.................... but he will need at least 3 weeks acclimatisation. oooops forgot this:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Albert Posted 25 January, 2018 Share Posted 25 January, 2018 3.5 year deal. So that’s 18 months if he’s any good and 3.5 years if he’s Gashton. Seems a little short. I was getting used to the 5 year contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Answers on a postcard please but somehow I think not. Remember the black box always gives the manager a choice of targets in each position its just that the manager, somehow, always choose the one he has already worked with... Out of interest if the black box finds the best options for each position when we typed in striker did not it come up with Harry Kane? I can just see MoPe going "yes Kane will do make it happen please Les" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_Ash Posted 25 January, 2018 Share Posted 25 January, 2018 Has he been injured for last few weeks or rested? Hopefully the latter and we can see him on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donatello Posted 25 January, 2018 Share Posted 25 January, 2018 Seems a little short. I was getting used to the 5 year contracts. Quiet. Maybe it's a reflection of the fact that we've allowed a manager in a tenuous position to select a player of his choosing, and we don't want to get saddled with him (Carrillo) long-term in the event that Pellegrino is gone by the end of the season/next 12 months...whilst at the same time protecting his value as an asset somewhat.

Mr X Posted 25 January, 2018 Share Posted 25 January, 2018 Wish him well & hope he's good, but can't help feeling it will be another disaster to add to the list, hope I'm wrong, would you trust pellegrinos judgement? Seems lots of clubs were queuing up for his signature, we need goals, we already have two strikers with poor goal records Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
