Are we able to mention Rolf Harris? Jake the Peg?

Harris, Saville and Glitter walk into an Irish bar, the barman says not Yewtree again

Danny Cashman's replacement?

Let's hope for all our sakes he's somewhat better!!

 

[procdoc]

nice to see he's being written off already

You'd expect no less from our fan base

 

[bukayosakamoto]

Great news though, seeing the development of Torp, Mason-Clark and this new bloke next year is going to be exciting

 

[ajsccfc]

What the fuck man? There should be a trigger warning on this post.

I'd only just come to terms with being slightly older than some managers now, this really feels like a new line crossed.

 

[blunted]

Anther one out of left-field no one saw coming. An exciting buy I feel.
As many have already said, we have a ready made song.
Not sure the level of OZ footie but pace is always helpful.

I’m still not convinced at 43 my chances of playing are over!

 

[Otis]

I'm not happy with this move because I'm older than his dad.

Think how I feel. I am older than everyone's dad.

Average at 20 is very promising indeed!

Average in the A league isn’t

 

[skybluecam]

Is that compared to all winger/AMs or everyone in the league? That’s an important distinction.

If this is a cheap signing, it’s probably worth making but I’m not overwhelmed. Yet, at 20 he’s a player we can mould and develop into a better player.

Says vs A league wingers.

why are we signing young Brazilian wingers from abroad with bags of potential linked with big clubs across Europe? Should be getting mark Albrighton in.

When are our fans going to learn to trust the management and scouting team? We already have Haji, Sakamoto and EMC as senior wingers. This lad would start as back up to them.

@Saddlebrains is correct when he says we do need some experience too though

I like the signing though as back up/squad filler

Clubs obviously addressing that hence the pursuit of Browne

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

The experience can come later we need a mixture of all sorts but I would say pace will be important

 

[eyesee]

this could be an exciting signing.
and unlike a lot of people on here, i trust robins and viveash.

Ya i know

I like him but don't pay much attention to his anti Doug stuff. He clearly has a dislike for him

Unless he is his source and trying to put people off the scent

Either way don't pay much attention.

But like I said I do like him and he's earnt his ITK credentials!

 

[MikeyMoo]

Kewell, Viduca, Cahill, Christian Veiri - anything around that quality will do me.

Experience is overrated, elderly high wage championship cloggers should be avoided.

Christian vieri?

Spent time in Australia growing up and speaks English with an Aussie accent which caught me off guard first time I heard him interviewed on Gazetta Football Italia.

Oh that’s fair my bad, always just known him as being an Italian striker didn’t know his relationship with Australia

I slightly disagree, we need an experienced head this summer at Centre bank or Centre midfield

you need one or two in the squad

Coventry City edge Rangers to deal for 20-year-old winger

No reason to know unless you were a Football Italia Channel 4 regular. Those were the days, Serie A was like another planet.

Yeh brilliant striker and I believe the most expensive player of all time at one point. Although if I'm not mistaken Crespo took that from him very shortly afterwards.

Yeh defo, although preferably more 28-30ish than 31-33ish

[long way home]

Could be a shrewd bit of business, sounds like he has options and if he picks us then im sure he will give his all and buy into the culture. . Its no doubt a big step up but if he signs the staff will work out the quickest way of giving him the best opportunity to make the grade.

As for the video clips he looks athletic , quick, strong and runs with his head up which is always a good sign..He has to come with a good attitude to be patient and open his ears to learn quickly if he wants to get 1st team chances early on. Lets see good luck to the lad if he comes, hope he is a superstar in the making.

 

[Saddlebrains]

Asked my source if this was correct

Evidently on holiday and pissed up

So there's nothing to add on this for me
