Comparable for sure, and the top few like I say.

Similar standard but certainly slower and that’s part of the physical.

Not sure what your point was then ?
Pembelle got a very good chance of hitting the ground running once he's match fit. 26 appearance for Bordeaux, 11 for paris.

Mitchut only played 6 times in ligue 1 before coming to us. Ba, mayenda ligue 2. So all need/needed to adapt and get used to the physicality.

Aouchiche hasn't had the experience of pembelle but Lorient are still ligue 1 and plenty of appearances for st Etienne who also ligue 1 at the time he was there

So both should be up and running quicker than others we've brought in. (provided language barrier isn't an issue and match fitness quickly)

Just sitting back and watching it all develop mate, great entertainment seeing everyone a-flippin' and a-floppin' <laugh>

I'm really pleased at how professionally run the club is these days which only highlights what a shambles it's been in the past. If we could imprint the current set up onto the Short era you could only imagine how good we could've been ... all that waste <doh>

The way we've handled the Stewart situation has been masterful. It's reminded me of one of those operating theatres where we've all sat watching a skilled surgeon take the rise out a poor soul under anaesthetic ...

... we managed to draw Southampton into a bidding war with themselves despite it being blindingly obvious that Stewart was desperate to leave and this being our only chance to cash in.

They've taken a massive risk on a player with quite an injury record who may never fully recover from the latest. He may turn out to be a bargain but I've never thought him suitable for the PL and have said so many times. I washed my hands of him as I stood applauding the SOL lap of honour ... it was painful watching him drag his sorry arse round the ground.

Despite people predicting all of our gems going, player unrest and a toxic atmosphere it's business as usual and the dawn of a new match day.

I'm as sad to see Gooch go as he is himself but this is our club in the modern world, we have to grit our teeth and trust them to do what's best for us all. It's hard, after the huge distrust and suspicion of the past, for us to believe the club knows best.

But, as my signature says, it's a brave new world and I'm loving it.

My point is in there. ‘It’s a slower League which is part of the physical’, they also kicked off later.

I didn’t suggest either needed a bed in period I was responding to Speakman saying ‘get him fit’ and suggesting why this may be rather than an injury.

Im not sure what YOUR point is, having explained mine maybe 3 times now?

I've got to say I've been on some roller coasters in my time but SAFC, I'll doff my hat and say the last 24hrs has been unbelievable, and it didn't cost me a penny, lol. I honestly can't remember any transfer window in my time where our players were linked and wanted by so many clubs. I'm used to us buying and every other team staying well clear of our players. I'm 58 now, I don't know how many more transfer windows my heart will take, but bring it on, I love this plan of KLD and KS. Thank you SAFC I'm now starting to believe that we'll become a decent PL team in the future. We'll never be able to compete with the nation clubs, but if a super league evolves, hopefully they'll disappear and the leagues may become more equal as the Sky money would lessen as they'd want the Super League

Looks good enough for me, shame there's no Crespo but not everyone can come aboard the HMS.
 
What a cracking window. Only things I think we're short of now are a DM and an experienced CB (and I suppose a "proper" number 9, but we have plenty of options up front now), but you can't have everything. Management have done incredibly well.

On the experienced CB front, I posted tongue-in-cheek about Phil Jones on a free earlier, but I genuinely think he'd do a great job in the Championship. Club could do a lot worse than offer him a short-term deal whilst Seelt and Triantis get up to speed, imo.
