    Job well done.

    Hope it all works out well and we don't go all Sporsey.

    He's a very likeable chappy. He was interesting when speaking about his back story in the interview

    Score a last minute winning free kick versus the Skates and he’ll be a legend forever.

    He seems like a real character, the kind of player who could turn into a bit of a cult hero judging by that interview. If he's anything like our last Brazilian he'll be a hit off the pitch....hopefully he's a bit better on it though!

    The way he says St Mary in his interview, I do worry that he thought he was off to the Caribbean to play on the island from Death in Paradise

    Nice looking lad

    You feel that hunger from him and that correlates with his quick rise up the divisions in a kind of Jamie Vardy way.
    Got a good feeing, but then I like Boufal & Gaston players, only have to do something amazing every 50 games for me <laugh>

    I predicted this would never happen and it did. So I now predict he will be ****e and contribute nothing to our inevitable double relegation.

    you can thank me later,

    welcome to Saints Leo Scienza!

    To the tune of Vienna by Ultravox:

    He runs down the wing, with Leo we win, he’ll score goals for me

    He’ll score goals for me

    Ohhhh Scienzaaa


    Not sure if it works or is awful <laugh>

    Looking forward to seven nation army.

    Not that we're jumping the gun in the Lincoln household, but the boy is getting his name and number on the back of his new 3rd kit which I swore blind I wasn't spending any more money on. <laugh>

    He reminds me of a young Paul Newman, might be the eyes. I think it’s interesting that he’s listed, on his Wikipedia page, as being a winger or attacking midfielder, so maybe he could fill in for Azaz in the 10 or at least offer something different through a more central position.

    Yeah, but how many boiled eggs can he eat at one go?

    Bit high maintenance but worth it if it clicks?
    Good ball control in tight spaces would be really useful in crowded penalty areas and he's another one for freekicks

    I like the sound of that

    Not exactly a glowing review <laugh> Seems like a bit of a gamble this one, and a player that might be best used off the bench to try and make something happen if we are struggling to break a team down/or get back into a game.

    Sounds to me like we could have a Cantona type in our squad. I am all good with that.
