shiiite. Next.

looks a good player

I thought we were finally getting some decent half time grub for a minute.

Best welsh player since giggs

So they're holding out for £5 million, and we bid £4.5. Isn't that just a tad petty? Why not just wrap the deal up by offering the asking price rather than behaving like we're buying a used car off Frank Butcher FFS?!

5 plus 5 I heard weeks ago.

Both ears?

Trying to get the Welsh quota taken care of for when Ryan retires.

This the sort of attacking midfielder you had in mind, dunk? Now with Scholesy essentially playing a more Pirlo role in the side....

Are we going to be loaning him back? Or is he gonna be going straight into our squad?

I've not seen him play, so I can't really comment.

But I am open to signing someone who can play the more forward role in the centre of midfield, play a bit and join up with the strikers, as an alternative/back-up to Anderson. I hope this is an apt description of his game.

He's probably the right age for cameo appearances and light work next year too, allowing Anderson and Scholes to share the brunt of responsibility with someone being groomed in the wings, as I see Rodrigo doing for Carrick's role.

Anyone watched the lad? What kind of player is he?
