    Sounds like a panic buy

    I think it's safe to say that if you make your debut for Bayern at 17, then you've got something special about you.

    This is a very sexy signing, think of an attacking Schneiderlin but potentially much better.

    Come on Fran, what do you mean "if"... He is head of MI5. Double agent as a Football Director too. Ralph heads up the CIA and they go on missions into Europe together. Rumoured to be making a film based on dealing with the clubs fans....

    This reminds me of Morgan in league one.

    I would think, come on mate you're the best player on the park. Try and dictate the pace, but that kind of thing takes years to get close too.

    What I like about this move(if it goes through) and Redmonds is that both players are young but have a load of experience at the top level. Les the Magnificent gets the goods but doesn't throw money around. It's not your own money you know. He's not mean he's careful!

    Is Prudence his middle name? Or just what his mates call him?

    When they want him to "come out to play?"

    That tweet is somewhat unfair on a 20 year old in a team full of stars, looks similar to Morgan in style and how many times did he grab a game by the short and curlies- exciting signing

    Sounds like a superb signing! Currently on a flight to London so should be done today/tomorrow.

    As I said a few posts up, him and Ralph head up MI5 and the CIA

    Never seen Ralph Krueger and Bank of England Governor Mark Carney in the same room, by the way.

    He's great. but still a bit raw.
    Think of a Schweinsteiger with a bit more of technical abilities and (much) less experience.

    congrats.

    Bayern fan.

    Well, Schweinsteiger in his prime was terrific so sounds like we're getting ourselves a terrific young player.

    Certainly sounds an exciting signing. Primarily central midfielder but can play defensive or attacking if required. His stats are better than all our midfielders last season though he will be another who picks up a few yellows for his tackles I suspect. Better at interceptions and passing than Big Vic though.

    I'm not a huge Les Reed fan but I do appreciate it when someone who has clearly failed in previous clubs comes here and fits like a glove. Fair play to the man.

    Errr...that would be CSIS or Service canadien du renseignement de sécurité if you happen to be 'les habitants'.

    It's like when someone from north America calls a Scottish person 'English'...:biggrin:

    He picked up 3 yellows in 23 league appearances for Schalke last season. Although he also picked up 6 yellows in 12 Europa League appearances.
