    With the accents etc on his name, it'd be pronounced...

    Positive signing for a position which needed bolstering. Looking at his record, 220 games and not one sending off. Either he's soft or he's good : )

    So is he a CB or a RB?

    He's a full-back, predominantly.

    Oh. Still leaves CB as a weak position. Fonte, vvd, yoshida, gardos?

    Pied is, of course, French for foot. Pelle is Italian for skin or hide. I hope we don't sign anyone called Merde or Kaputt obviously, but Pied seems whimsically appropriate.

    I'm happy with that personally ... especially when you include Jack Stephens in there as well.

    As for Pied, yeah it's nothing spectacular but I'm sure he'll do a job when called upon. Cedric will be first-choice there, anyway.

    Have a feeling this isn't going to be our last signing. We have sorted the depth issues, now time for an exciting first team player. Here's hoping anyway!

    Well we've got all the players we 'needed' and were stated in the press: GK, RB, CM, AM/W

    That leaves us with another 30 days... go on Les, do a madness. :)

    It won't be unless a deal doesn't work out.

    Yep, I can see another wide player. We were after Boufal as well as Redmond. So doubt we would suddenly just want one in.

    We've still lost two match winners in Pelle and Mane. Neither have been replaced with similar quality. I think we're thin on the quality striker front. My particular jury is still out on JayRod yet and I'm not convinced Austin can lead the line all season in a team that has ambitions to be Top 6 and play in Europe.

    Welcome Jeremy Pied.

    Presumably, we'll get such. A single additional attacking mid really isn't enough, though, particularly if we're going to be using Redmond/Tadic up front at times. Increasingly think that we need another CB, as well, and not a designated backup.

    On Pied, the upside is that he did well playing in this system last year, and diamonds can be absolute hell for fullbacks.

    I reckon puel will look to bring in hesketh this season, so for me it's about finding a winger who can play up top too.
