Great to hear strains of The Liquidator playing before the start. I always associate that tune with going to London football matches in the late 60s.

 

Good luck to him.

He should get his fair chance of minutes and starts so if he doesn't make it it won't be down to a lack of opportunity.

 

McCall again f*****g clueless .

 

Oh come on mr self righteous.

Look back at the names mccall has previously said we were interested and compare to this one. Do you honestly think its been thoroughly researched or do you think this is whats left, available in budget and able to be rushed through.

Another question if we hadnt have played wolves on tuesday do you think this signing would have come about?

Ive said quite clearly i hope he proves me wrong but im just underwhelmed at this point.

Dont open up a forum and call out people whos opinion differs to yours

 

Chuffed with that signing, don't think you need much quality this year in this league to get out of it. Great looking squad!

 

Someone try and convince me that this lad was on our radar before Tuesday!!? What a load of shite.
Hope the lad does well but its poor planning from the club once again and our strike force is now either very immobile or very inexperienced. Zero goals in the conference north last season...let's hope he can make the step up.

 

You are one miserable shit!!

 

'He can't be worse than Guthrie' is praise indeed.

 

I think it's a joke well that's how I've replied.

 

Poor planning?

The club were talking about loaning a Premier League striker months ago, where have you been??

No idea what to make as I know nothing about him. I hope this is the result of proper scouting rather than a last minute, lazy and last resort move after we played them the other night.

Our strike force still doesnt fill me with confidence and I'd really hoped we'd move for someone like Hiwula. Looks very much like we're trying to keep costs as low as possible.

 

The salary cap sucks, it means being stuck on same wage ceiling as the clubs being promoted. But if it means the money saved can be spent strengthening what is a very small backroom staff then maybe there is a some good to come out of it. If this is part of a structured plan for the future looking to bring young talent through then as long as its backed with the infrastructure behind the scenes then i'll back it for some hope of a long term plan. First and foremost what matters most is getting out of this division with a plan attached and not just by the seat of your pants.

 

Maybe, who knows. I hope he does well and it does at least bring pace to the side. I just think its asking a lot of a young rookie to fill the gaps we have up front.

 

for sure, its on us if he fecks up really. as far as this lads concerned its a fantastic opportunity for him to get going in mens football. as I say I really do hope he succeeds for us

 

If they rated him they would have him tied up already, there's no way they'd allow a potential asset to walk away for free. You could be right in that when January comes if he's had a good few months they could offer him something so to hold on to a saleable asset.

 

Isn't that what I was saying?
He isn't a proven goalscorer or a proven anything yet. My point was that we were always going to get someone who is unproven who may/may not turn out good

 

Strange, six pages in and no-one mentions the previous speedy guy City got from Wolves on loan.
Step forward Sherwin Seedorf the winger.

Hope he does better than that and it is a gamble but Novak is now the guy to score the majority of our goals imo.
Vaughan was not replaced but the club will be happy to save on his wages no doubt.
Shame rupp's pledge to back Stuart did not amount to much.
