Manquillo in as well, looks like.

Not so sure about this. A defender from that lot down the road, after last season? Hmmmm.

Rafa needs to work some magic on this one for me.

If he can kick a ball properly he's already ahead of Dummet in my eyes.

[ellroy]

Well that remains to be seen.

He's not great IMO, or didn't look it - but look at the squad he was playing in and the manager he was under in fairness, dogst.

Clucas from relegated Hull too apparently, aim high boys, aim high

(I'm well aware of the irony of that statement - we have a league one striker and can't even afford to replace our pink seats, or so it seems )

[ellroy]

Have to say AK I'm concerned with lack of signings as well as the money, hence quality?, being spent. Give the numbers being bandied about, at the end of the season/start of summer, there should still be plenty of cash to go at, it with the fat cockney you never know.

That being said in Rafa we trust!

[Axionknight]

Hope it works out for you, we'll see you for the derby in about ten years

[ellroy]

If it doesn't work we'll be seeing you a darn site sooner than that!

[Chicken Chaser]

Its not Rafa I dont trust, I just hope he's getting who he wants or thinks can elevate us into at least a side which can consolidate and stabilise.

I do worry that these signings aren't any better than what we already have, or a a massive gamble through inexperience. Only time will tell.

[skahigh]

It feels like the fat man is penny pinching again and we're miles away with the fees we're willing to pay comparative to the market.

[ellroy]

Merino having a medical, 12 month loan with option/obligation to buy.

Anyone seen much of the lad?

[fathomfive]

He sounds a bit woolly.

[skahigh]

He can't be too baaaaad can he?

[ellroy]

I was like a lamb to the slaughter there.

[fathomfive]

I don't know much more than I've read online today.

He'll be better than Colback. And less ginger.

[DoctorX]

Good result tonight, let's hope they can play like that against some decent opposition.

[ellroy]

Anyone going to Whitby for the Celtic game tomorrow?

All these puns cast my mind back to the Freddy Shepherd days.

[ellroy]

Stop bleating about it.

Anymore of this and I'm going to flock off and leave you to it.

You're all mintal.
