Didn't we have a similar story with Alan Mullery, who was able to hit the corner flag from the kick off spot.

That was Geoff Thomas wasn't it?

It would certainly be a (hard rock) Hallelujah from me if we signed him.

Seeing as I haven't read all 29 pages, can anyone let me know if the pronunciation of his surname has been agreed, for song purposes?

Is it 'Hyypia' rhyming with 'chippier'?
'Hyppia' rhyming with 'loopier'?
'Hyppia' rhyming with 'pipier'?

I'll stick with 'Sami'. Rhymes with 'flamey'.

Not sure how I'd feel about this, doesn't seem to be an attack minded manager but could see us bring in a fair few new players.

Let's see what happens.

Remember Garcia saying that he was all about attacking football?

It nearly rhymes with fanny, I'm sure there's a chant there somewhere.

I must have missed that, did he get Nathan to say it for him ?

It was before he actually took charge of any games.

As someone who mistakenly composed a song for Lewis Grabban, I'm staying well away until any new manager is confirmed, pictured at The Amex with an Albion shirt, has beaten Calde at pool and sunk a pint of Harveys in Dick's.

Oh you mean before he actually turned up and saw what he had to work with then, and then after seeing the injury list and players in training thought bollox from here on in Nathan can do the talking.

Style - Cannot always tell by their former playing position:

Poyet was a marauding attacking midfielder operating at pace, but in our Championship-Poyet years we prioritised possession about the back and it was generally quite slow.
Dean Wilkins was a cultured midfielder, but I thought our playing style under him was staid and far from cultured in the main.

To think when I first saw the thread I thought we'd signed an ageing central defender..

Who would still be quicker and read the game better than GG?

I think Kazenga might have to be a bit more careful about his outbursts in future if Sami gets the job. I wouldn't think he would tolerate any messing.

"Attacking is my obsession" or a similar phrase was quoted. The stats suggest otherwise, although I liked Oscar despite this.
