He looks fast, and he's so gonna get sent off.

 

[Coggersc1974]

I do hope we haven't signed him on the basis of that you tube footage. Doesn't seem to stay on his feet much does he. Not sure what the ref was watching, half of them looked fouls to me. Yellow and reds waiting to happen?

If? Did you miss the announcement fifteen minutes ago, in this very thread, that he has signed.

Lets hope the referees are as understanding as the Swiss ones appear to be........ love to see him and Crofts dominating in the middle.

 

[Albumen]

Two or three from Ince, Nzuzi, Crofts, Stephens. Lovely.

 

[Telford Seagull]

Toko vs Rodolph Austin of Leeds United could be some battle!

 

[Hyperion]

Two or three from Ince, Nzuzi, Crofts, Stephens. Lovely.

Lovely Who is he? Where did he sign from?

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Oh my god has anyone read the argus article. Even typing at speed that is an absurd number of mistakes

Vicente with a Fake tan

 

[Mowgli37]

I fear he won't get away with those tackles as much, may end up learning the hard way by getting sent off

 

[L2MidgetGem B.H.A Seagull]

What if the new "Manager" don't like him. It will be another case of Kemy :/

 

[JJ McClure]

I reckon he'll get 14 yellows, 2 red cards and 2 penalties conceded.

 

[Langley]

Was thinking the same. A Burke signing yet again. Don't feel comfortable with this.

Why not leave all this to a new manager instead of eating into budget on players he might not want.

And by the time the new manager arrives, he has signed for another club, then all the other moaners start, a catch 22 situation.

 

[Stat Brother]

I'm scared already.

Dear BHA

Could I please move seats further back in the Family Stand.
I feel, in row H, we are to close to ground zero and the carnage zone, for the sensitive jnr stats.
Regards Stat Bro

We're going leave the game looking like we're spent the afternoon at the butchers.

I didn't see the announcement, sorry.. Looks like a very good player, will be interesting to see at the AMEX.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Blimey. BHA need to adopt the motto :

"You can please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time, but you can never please all of the people all of the time."

Personally I am looking forward to next season.

What if the new manager doesn't like Greer? or Crofts? Or Ulloa? or Ince? It's always something that will be there. A club and a manager should understand there is a squad in place that the new man should make efforts to get the best out of, but that the new man will have his own vision and maybe some players (newly signed or long term servant of the club) might not feature in those plans. It's a risk that is there whether you sign new players, or stick with what you have. If he doesn't gel with the new manager, he's on a three year contract that will give us a good chance of getting a fee for him from someone else, not bad for a free signing.
