It does sound too good to be true I agree. I'm refusing to get excited till it's sealed. I remember previously when we had deals ready to go. We pissed around in the case of Roy Keane, and Man U stepped in. Then that bloody ash cloud thwarted the Lewandowski deal.

I imagine surgeon has signed him off to return to training

Rich sharpe probably asked by the club to say something to calm the restless down. Be shocked if we aint here by the end of next week waiting for a GK.

Not often we agree Chaddy ?

Absolutely I agree. I would back him as I still continue to back Brereton, in the vain hope he actually comes good. Just wondered how concrete the reportcomes across in English, or whether it was the German answer to Alan nixon talking bollocks.

Anyone know enough German to figure out what this says. Looking at the other article he could be one to avoid.

Chaddy won't let you bad mouth nixon. He hangs off his every word. He's the gullible type , which is nixons target audience!!!

Chaddy, I have never heard you be even mildly critical of Mowbray or any of his signings(until the day TM himself decides they are shit after all and then you agree) , that's why I describe you as living in a world where everything is perfect. And as for hysterical, you are the only one hysterical with your last response to me. Not long ago you were saying Hilton should be no2 next season and we will get a foreign keeper as our no1 courtesy of our famed European scouting network. Now this boro reject is reported to be heading our way and already you are trying to justify the signing with stats.

Chaddy lives in a different world to the rest of us. Everything is perfect and the ruler of the kingdom is a bloke called Mowbray. Thought you would have learned that by now. He can't help but blow smoke up his arse

We have 3 backups at the club already. Hilton Fisher and Eastham. Why blow a wage on another with barely more experience than those. Unless we are planning on binning some of them off.

More likely Armstrong is on his way

Yep confirmed on sky.

I do admire your positivity Chaddy(or delusion as I call it) but I will be surprised if we have any one through the door before preseason.

So basically we won't get him as someone else will step in who doesnt mess around and gets deals done.

Have I missed something. What's all the talk about Smallwood. I thought his contract was up and we'd released him.

Haha edited ?

Sharpe reporting that we will be monitoring Wharton in preseason along with the rest of our 'young' defenders. So I wouldn't expect any incoming defenders for a while yet if at all, at which point we'll be picking up scraps.

That's the point he was signed for the u23s at 22 I think Chaddy

OK sweet cheeks? oh and by the way the records far from straight. I'm choosing to leave as its all opinion and its in the wrong thread anyway.

I never said they did. I never rated him before his misdemeanours. Berg was simply a better player. He has far more medals in his collection than Hendry. And by the way what has berg suing the club got to do with his achievements as a player. We clearly aren't going to agree, we are all entitled to our own opinions. And as someone has pointed out already this isn't the nostalgia thread so let's leave it there eh!!

The state of our club at the time and the way he was treated you can hardly blame him. I'd be more concerned about the love in for Hendry with his alleged misdemeanours.

Hendry had far more mistakes in him, in my opinion. Nelsen was excellent I'll give you that and Samba very good. Berg is the only player to have won both the Premier league and league Cup with us. I know people say his managerial spell has tarnished his reputation. My response would be he wasn't given a transfer window to mould his own team. He was only able to bring in a loan player, Josh King, by all accounts many on here rated him highly. If he had been given the opportunity to bring in players of a similar calibre who knows what he could have done. Alas, he was caught in a war between directors/advisors who appeared to dislike each others choice of manager and pulled the trigger at a moments notice.

I'll be hated for this but I think hendry was massively overrated. Sure he stuck his head in where it hurts but only to rectify his own mistakes a lot of the time. Now Berg, he was a legend!!!

If we can only sign 3 we are in trouble. Need keeper x 2, cb x2 and lb as a minimum.

The only believable thing about this Ben whiteman tale is that it's a midfielder, the least priority area in terms of recruitment. I hope its bollocks and if we have to suffer another season of Mowbray, he starts off by signing a keeper or two and defenders.
