Gino using a friendly as a negotiation tool. ******* legend.

 

Hopefully we stiff 'em and send the kids.

 

From his stats he looks more like the opposite - good on the ball, but maybe a bit weak defensively.

Perhaps more like a young Scottish Cathcart.

 

Angelini.

 

FM player confirmed

 

Doesn't treat the ball like a hot potato and seems like a threat in the opposition box (something we've not really had for ages with our centre backs).

Looks promising.

 

Not often you can get away with the words stiff and kids in the same sentence , but you seemed to have pulled it off .

 

Just to be clear your honour, I completely deny pulling anything off while writing a post containing the words 'stiff' and 'kids'.

 

18 tackling, 20 aggression.

Red cards aplenty?

 

Well if he’s a flop at least he’ll be a relatively cheap flop.

 

Good stuff, Edinburgh’s a lovely city.

 

Gosh, Hibs must be thrilled to get a top English club to come and play them. That wil have sealed the deal.

 

That combined with us demonstrating how defenders who join us go from strength to strength, it was a no-brainer for the lad.

 

Still annoyed with Hibs for injuring Gary Penrice in a friendly years ago.

 

Away day in Edinburgh sounds class!

 

No doubt about it, we’re the biggest club to ever step foot in their tinpot stadium. It will be a sell out, the streets will be packed as they gather around windows outside of peoples residents. Pubs will be full to the brim as they stand in awe of seeing superstars like Kayembe and Bacuna give them a footballing lesson. Definitely one for them to tell the grandkids about.

 

We would have to be fuccking insane to let that happen.

Enjoy the game, Ryan!

 

It's not Thursday in Scotland, different time zone up there

 

This is the best deal ever. Finally, a Watford match less than half an hour from my house.

 

Come on Steve, we know the drill with our set pieces!

 

Oh for the days of Gabriele Angella scoring seven in one season...

 

Oh for Gabriele Angella!

 

Andrew French saying the remaining hurdle is that Hibs want to keep him for this weekend…

That’s just madness. They are an SPL club. Money up there outside the Old Firm clubs is sparse - just threaten to withdraw the bid and watch the player and his agent go to work.

Ridiculous if we acquiesce and allow a player we need to turn out one last time. The player has said his goodbyes publicly. Nonsense that f an affair.

 

I was gutted when we let him go although we did replace him with Britos and Prodl in his one good season

 

Could we chuck them Pollock?

 

Angella was not a good defender as evidenced by the collapse of his career after he left us. Great goal at Forest though !

 

That would be A slap in the face with a wet fish

 

I think that was my point .

But I loved his passion and the way he’d sprint the full length of the pitch just to celebrate by the corner flag when we scored .

 

Something truly missing from both the fans and the club overall anymore

 

Looking forward to Kamara, Sierralta, Louza and Ferreira trying to understand him as he barks out instructions.

 

Ok sorry I missed the bit where you said he wasn’t a good defender. Just saw the bit where you said you missed him and were gutted when he left.
Given he was a liability at champ level, he’d have been a disaster in the prem.
Our defence was pretty poor across the Board in that promotion season. No surprise the whole defence was replaced.

 

You're argumentative today TuT.
