If you listen to it he basically says I don't care where the manager plays me as long as I'm playing. Could deffo become a handful if he isn't playing.tbf, not sure I'd want to sign a player who on his first interview looks forward to waiting for one of the first team to pick up an injury before he plays a game, as he's clearly inferior!
He improves the squad. He’s not an ‘exciting’ signing or a guaranteed starter but he’s better than the other back ups for DaboIt’s better than DaCosta
Well it must be true thenHe wasn’t free, we paid a fee for him according to the offal
Stats would put him as a RWB based on his time here...
Love the way some have written him off already and are now waiting for him to fail so they can say "I told you so"
Fucking Saddos.
And by yours we dont need any cover stop fucking moaning.By your logic there he’s also cover for Hamer, Hyam, Godden and O’Hare.
Good, I only want players who want to play, if your happy not playing, your in the wrong job!If you listen to it he basically says I don't care where the manager plays me as long as I'm playing. Could deffo become a handful if he isn't playing.

Well why not wait and see, I'm sure MR has spoken to him and explained the situation to him.It's not about whether he wants to play, it's about how will he react if he's not? Take it on the chin, put his head down and give the manager stuff to think about or just be a bit of an arse?
Agree we need to pay the going rate for talent in the championship. I was perhaps wrongly assuming he was brought in to be a covering squad player. As we improve we will obviously need to break our wage structure and that won't be destabilising because the other players can see top players arriving to make the difference in specific areas. Problems could start when back up players start to out earn the starters and that will get a lot of agents knocking on the manager's door.We need to stop getting hung up on what individual players earn. If we want to sign players based on wages we should continue signing players like DaCosta. We're in the Championship now and will have to pay appropriately.
What's the point in a football forum then?
Atrocious signing on the face of it

what’s the more than one position?27 years old, played 150 championship games, signed for next to nothing to provide cover in more than one position. Yeah, atrocious signing.
Anywhere across the back line or even in midfield according to his signing video. Even if he can only play in rwb and provides another option/cover it’s hardly an atrocious signing.what’s the more than one position?
We don’t need to see dabo CB againCan only think we may see dabo used more at CB with Kane at rwb when needed. With also being able to deputise at lwb at a push. Solid player with plenty of experience at this level which is also something we didn’t have last year.
So while I’m not particularly excited by the signing , I suppose it shows another step in the right direction being able to sign a player whose spent most of his career playing in this league
9 signings. 6 first teamers - poor windowUnderwhelmed.
It's been a poor window and we need more in the middle of the park.
1 or 2 get injured and we are looking very weak.
Why not try him upfront, or in AM too. If he says he can play there why notAnywhere across the back line or even in midfield according to his signing video. Even if he can only play in rwb and provides another option/cover it’s hardly an atrocious signing.
Or why not just give him a chance before calling him an atrocious signing?Why not try him upfront, or in AM too. If he says he can play there why not
Why don’t we see how he performs for us before deciding if it’s an atrocious signing?Why not try him upfront, or in AM too. If he says he can play there why not
Have to wonder what they’d say if we’d spent £50million on 36 year old Ronaldo27 on a downwards trend in his career!!!! Ffs
Straight swap for O'HareApologies if I’ve missed this…have we paid money for Kane? If so, how much?
Bargain!Straight swap for O'Hare
Apologies if I’ve missed this…have we paid money for Kane? If so, how much?
Don't all players say that?If you listen to it he basically says I don't care where the manager plays me as long as I'm playing. Could deffo become a handful if he isn't playing.
But wait until he kicks a ball into touch they will all come crawling out.Reminds me of the type of comments when we signed Moore.

Anyone else hugely underwhelmed that in and amongst all this deadline day excitement, our only signing is going to be a back up fullback from another
