Surely the Vinagre announcement has to be…

- Close up of players hands with his patty & chips
- reaches for the chip spice
- waves his finger to suggest ‘no, no, no’
- camera scans up to reveal Ruben Vinagre in full city kit initially lashing vinegar over his chips
- close up of vinegar reveals a post it note with ‘Vinagre Signs! on it
- finishing shot has Ruben taking a big bite of a patty butty and a thumbs up

It must be one hell of an unvale for Vinagre if it taking this long to make. We must have got Ridly Scott in to do it.

Plenty of people struggle to settle in a new job at a new company in any industry and lots more start sluggishly and take a long time to master their new role.

I think it’s impossible to have written Sinik off already. Maybe with a wedding out the way he can knuckle down with a clearer head and start to perform.

Aside from anything else, he's just so far down the pecking order it's going to be a hell of a task. He's obviously not going to be ahead of Allahyar, Vaughan or Longman (some won't like that last one but he's a regular for us and Sinik isn't). Lokilo is coming in to improve us so Sinik is 5th choice on the wing, and given that we're also oversubscribed at #10 and striker, I think there's more chance we'd see one of those players playing out of position on the wing than of Sinik starting games. Even if he does prove his fitness and application, he'll find it hard to get game time and then with players like this that often leads to them losing focus again. I just can't see him still being here by January.
 
Weird just saw the entire squad walking down Mill House / Linden Avenue

Only a few driving but the majority all walking, I’m assuming to Cott station?

Didn’t see any new faces, new tracksuit looks classy as though

Cottingham's locked down, there's been a signal/barrier failure and traffic's at a standstill.
 
Rosie on Sinik...

"His ability is not in question," Rosenior continued. "What I need to see from Dodo is that he's physically more robust and he's ready for Championship football.

"It's a massive shock and it's understandable. I'd find it so difficult as a manager to go from managing a club in England to one in Turkiye, it's a completely different culture.

"Off the pitch, your family, your friends, it's a whole different way of life. The climate is different, the food is different, it takes players time.

"What Dodo has shown me - and I've had conversations with him - is that he's really committed to being here. He's spoken to Ozan and Ozan has told him about the way we're going.

"Every player can see the benefit of working with myself, the staff, and at this football club and where it's going. Dodo wants to be a part of it and my job is to assess that.

"Is his potential there? For sure, he's an outstanding footballer, but we now need to see if he can do it week in and week out in the Championship."

He'll be gone
