    were they the ones whose run out music was the theme tune to Pirates of the Caribbean?
    Moyes had just taken over as manager.
    Ahhh, happy times….
    Maybe it was Doncaster the year afterwards

    People get so desperate for signings during silly season they'll take any flimsy link going and defend it like a junkie.

    I wouldn’t say that’s the case mate, if you don’t rate him that’s fine but others can see why we would sign him

    Just pointing out the risks that's all, offering a little balance.

    Not if we've actually seen a player play tho

    Frigan looks decent from what I've seen, def not my 1st choice but he looks talented

    I think he speaks English as well

    Think, his comments on social media are usually in English - obviously can use Google translate for that

    I get folk are concerned because Rusyn never settled, but rusyn came from a war torn country and had only ever played there

    This lad has already played in a different league and done well in that league

    Frigan would be that "versatile forward" RLB was after you'd think meaning we'd still be after Cannon.

    It sounds like a good move to me. Everyone obviously wants promotion this season, but we have to continue to think beyond the next 5 months too.

    This lad is 21, highly rated, has been in Croatian national squads and is someone we've scouted intently over a number of years.

    For me it doesn't matter if he's a bit part player who takes a little time to settle, if he's good enough.

    I'm offering a note of caution in a river of dopamine scarf pics, people should welcome a bit of balance.

    I get that, nothing wrong with folk getting excited by a potential target/player either tho

    As i said he definitely isn't my 1st choice but the bits I've seen of him he looks a cracking prospect. He's playing regularly in Belgium and playing pretty well

    I would still want Cannon if I had the choice as always been a big fan of his

    Got my hair cut off hjeldes barber once and he said some of the players don’t like Rusyn as they all think Rusyn’s not listening even though he has to have an interpreter next to him all the time because he doesn’t understand a word of English

    The Rangers fan I've befriended up here reckons Beale wanted him at Rangers and the fee was around £5m with the add ons. Does that sound plausible, the lad writes for their vlog or whatever they're called.

    Aye probably about right, he's highly rated for sure - looks an exciting prospect
