Watch how everyone who lost their **** at the board over January, loses their **** again when he turns out to be rubbish, saying what a waste of time/money etc.

Oddly enough, with all my Eyeore-ness, it's one thing I don't do much, players can take up to a year to settle in properly and others only a couple of weeks. I think it is because despite their weath and privilege they are - and this is controversial - human beings.
Collectively as a team I criticise but you win as a team and lose as a team so that's fairer - I think. I can understand an individual's head dropping or losing confidence but not the whole team that annoys me.
Anyway your original point is spot on and I've just realised I'm rambling and sounding a bit deranged so I'm going to bed.
I've always thought it was odd too. It's as if he likes the extra attention it gets from people asking questions about his hints.
'When'
You think he'll be rubbish? That's very negative of you LTL...
IF!!
I hope you're not including me in that. I'm pissed off at the board for not signing a centre back so I will hardly be pissed if we sign an international centre back on a free. I still maintain they ****ed up and if they sign him they will have got out of jail.
Sorry mate I couldn't resist!To answer your point, I think most (reasonable) people will understand that if he is a bit crap then that's the gamble we're taking with a free agent.
We're not in a position to be picky really so have to take the risk imo, providing he wants to join and we can sort work permit/wages etc.
People will still blame the board for us being in the situation in the first place though, which is perfectly fair.
I'm not Tom.
I don't really mean anyone specific on here - more the rabid Facebook idiots. I think we all agree that the board could and probably should have done a lot better. I can just see the 'must moan' squad using this as another magazine full of their bollocks bullets to load up with if he turns out to be less than a reincarnation of Maldini.
Just looked on transfermarkt, the man is brittle.
16/17 he hasn't played.
15/16 he was available to play 17 times out of 52 possible games with 4 different injuries.
14/15 he was available to play 15 times out of 57 possible games with 3 different injuries.
13/14 was his last proper season, available to play 47 times (played 30) out of 55 possible games with just 2 injuries.
12/13 he was available to play 43 times (played 22) out of 53 possible games with 5 different injuries.
11/12 Available every game.... that can't be right.... played 32 out of 47 possible.
If there's one thing we're sure of, we don't mind taking a risk relying on injury prone players and those recovering from long absence. Not sure I agree with it long term, but in the situation we're already in, I'd rather have hime here than not.

I still have Darren Anderton's number. Maybe he'd be up for a shot at CB.
You really spend to much time on the internet. If your that worried about what other fans are doing then may I suggest turning off the iPad/pc and having a break. Nothing has happened yet and you seem overly concerned how fans will react if a player we haven't signed turns out to be **** for us in 2 months time.
