Is he fluent in English, or will Sonko have to help him out like he has with some other recent newcomers? :wink:

Can't agree with your view, Chaney. The playing fortunes of football clubs are determined by players, coaches and their support (from staff and fans) - not by the owners except in extremely unusual situations like the Russian at Chelsea. What JM decides to do is less important than what SC decides t...

Does anyone think Forster will get 15 now that he's gone to Hull? I suspect that Parkinson will find that £250k turns out to be a poor investment.

IMO we are putting too much emphasis on this "Premiership experience" factor, almost as if it's some crucial quality which immediately makes a player different, suggesting that the Prem is a world apart from any other league. I put more faith in SC's skill in spotting talent - and there's ...

Just heard that from a Wycombe fan myself. There must be imminent signings soon,.....................there must. :shock: You just have to be right, GC.

It has to be said though that this is the dullest pre-season I can remember for a long time.

Regrettably something like "Here you are Dave a £200,000 signing-on fee now and your salary trebled" might just make any of us think about it? In today's more realistic transfer world, £200k up front for a player with barely a year of experience out of the nether regions of the leagues is thankfull...
