Cause it makes Rosenior look like a tit when he waffles about signing robust players then signs an injury-prone journeyman who’s no better than Figueiredo.

But he’s from ‘Ull so we me must sign him for sentimental reasons (he’s a Yanited fan btw).

It might not be a fantastic singing, but to call him an Injury prone journeyman is harsh one, he's had 4 clubs since he left us 10/11yrs ago and in those years has played 352 games. So approx 30 ish games a season...... It's not a signing that's exciting but let's not be dramatic and derogatory just to try and prove a point

It’s a ****e signing. I said Woods was a ****e signing at the time and got called negative whilst others said ‘he’s got a lot of games under his belt in the Championship’, ‘he’d be a useful player for us’, etc. etc. I was right then about Woods and I’ll be right about Bradley being a ****e signing.
 
Right, so it looks like Figo and Cafu are signing. I guess Cafu will be Elder's direct placement, plenty of experience.
Figo does look like a somewhat scruffy and larger version of Honeyman, he'll slot right into our midfield

City Football Group own a few more clubs as well. They own Palermo in Serie B, Troyes in Ligue 2 and Lommel S.K. in the Belgian second division and some others I can't remember.

Lommel S.K. are an odd one. They're in the Belgian second tier yet currently have a player under contract called Vinícius Souza who is currently on loan at Espanyol in La Liga. He's widely considered to be in the top 5 defensive midfielders in La Liga yet he returns to a club in the Belgian second tier this summer.

I think they have Yokohama in Japan as well.

There's a lot of similarities in how Luton fans are speaking about Bradley leaving to how Blackburn fans spoke when Smallwood. The leadership qualities are so important and I think it goes unmentioned how big Smallwood was in getting us out of L1 and keeping us up last season.

I think Sonny is better than Figs, he's less rash too and you certainly develop a grit from being around the lower leagues and getting back into the Championship

It's his off the field antics that worry me.

You will probably be correct so very well done, but it doesn't change the fact calling him a injury prone journeyman was just flat out dramatic

There's a picture that floats about every so often on twitter of him in the match programme when he was mascot for a game at Boothferry as a kid. Doesn't stop him being a United fan I suppose, but he clearly was a City fan at some stage at least.

Edit: Found it.
