    We don't know what actually went on or how it played out. FACT.
    I remember hearing I think it was our chief scout on 1904 podcast talking about how we came to sign Carvahlo. It wasn't planned, but an opportunity arose, they got excited and agreed it was an opportunity they couldn't turn down. It might well have been the same with Rushworth. Supposedly proven as the best keeper at this level (I'm not so sure) and maybe they saw him, in spite of his young age, as not only a very good keeper to strengthen us but also as someone who would improve our own young, unproven in England, keepers for the long term? I'm not for one minute saying I agree with all that nor the decision. Just that once again we pretend to know what actually happened and why, when the FACT is we don't.

    Good.
    Pleased he didn't have second thoughts after Tuesday! The state of our pitch and the performance.
    Hopefully Matazo announced too shortly. And a couple more, including a LB.
    Then Selles 'just' has the simple task of getting them all settled, up to speed and gelling into a high performing team. Unlikely to be overnight, more like about a month away? It's not so bad integrating one or two but this is a massive task given the amount of (forced and unforced) churn, akin to MS that 2nd half of the year in the PL.

    Very tricky getting a bunch of new players gelling in January. Will be a tall order for Selles.

    Not necessarily true. I was one of Rosenior's biggest critics (still shocked he was sacked when he was) and I'm even more critical of Acun.

    Not sure where to expect to see Lincoln play. Best guess is one of the midfield positions that Slater and Puerta have occupied recently. Possibly on the wing?

    Because the club has to pay him back for it.

    Whatever Lincoln thinks his best position is, I suspect he's about to find himself playing on the left wing, where he's played plenty of times before (and he's left footed).

    Do you really think so? Where? I doubt it, having played only in top division in Brazil, Portugal and Turkey.
    Probably not since playing on sand back in his youth in Brazil. Hopefully he remembers how :emoticon-0105-wink:

    Think they missed a trick not announcing him using an air raid siren and a load of gimps pretending they're an aeroplane.

    The general creativity in the media for our signing announcements is very poor at the moment imo.
