:yahoo:

No WAY??!?! Are you just saying this because I made up the story last week and told you to apologise and bow to me when it happened?

 

[Statto]

Ketchup?

mayonnaise?

Don't know what to make of this one.
Anecdotally Michel could probably do with the competion, so good.
Russel Slade allegedly likes big goalkeepers,but Smith is shorter than Michel.
Smith was priced up to £700k till his contract expired, so good.
He's a Scottish keeper, oh dear!!
Mark McGhee rates him highly. He thought the same about Calamity Wayne as he fumbled us out the Championship. Oh very dear!!
On balance, don't fancy this signing.

Motherwell keeper Graeme Smith is on the verge of signing for Brighton on a £2,000-per-week deal. (News of the World)

I have already posted this elsewhere but, i asked a Well fan about him and he said that they had signed a new keeper so he was definately leaving. He also said he is a very good keeper, excellent shot stopper but a little weak on crosses.

All in i think he sounds good but i hope there is more to him than being a good shot stopper as i think the keeper we have (FDM) is also an excellent shot stopper.

Have you heard this from anywhere other than the News of The World quote?

Graeme Smith

Not to be confused with his namesake.

I'm guessing he saw it in there and then posted on here without revealing his source to try and make himself look 'in the know'.

Why would I read the Scottish gossip column?
A Text was the source if you really want to know, don't know where he heard/read it.

Could be a good signing though, looks like FDM is going to be a bench warmer.

Sounds like a potentially good signing, and we do need some quality competion for FDM(no disrespect to John Sullivan, but he wasn't really competition). I just hope his missus likes it down here, otherwise thats potentially another player signed, who we have to replace at some point down the line due to homesickness

 

[northstandsteve]

bet he kicks better than Michel

If his persona on FM is anything to go by, then no.

 

[Joe Gatting's Dad]

I think someone is trying to piss Jim Gannon - the new Motherwell manager - off even more!

If Mark rates him then lets get him. I'd be more than happy with that. McGhee can spot a good keeper when he sees one so lets sign this guy now.

Won't believe anything till anyone actually signs, don't think the signings we have made so far (bar Dicker) were expected or released until the day or thereabouts

Don't get this post at all. John Sullivan wasn't competition!! In what way??

Most ironic post of the year?

Or were you serious?
