    Can anybody remember when we had some Jamaican criminal rasta playing on the wing for us? What was his name, again?

    Troy Deeney has left Watford. Looks set to join Birmingham.

    Imagine being a L1 club and the headline reads in talks with Bayern Munich! It is like we have progressed 3 years in the last 9 months or so.

    Aye that's him. Didn't he go to prison when he left Sunderland or did we sign him when he was released from prison? <laugh>

    sounds like he’s another “inside forward” type of winger rather than out and out winger. Seems clear LJ prefers wide attackers that play more narrowly with full backs overlapping

    And if we get a fee for him. Absolutely mental. Not complaining obviously. <laugh>

    I'm not meaning to sound negative about it as I'm not at all but is it any different from having players from, say, Man City's reserves/Academy which even Accrington Stanley for example do?

    Mind, you're right it does sound mint still! Plus, it's just so refreshing to be thinking outside the box and looking beyond the North West with our recruitment.

    I think the difference here maybe that 'Bayern II' don't play u23 footy. It's different over there where their 'reserve' teams can get promoted/relegated but play in the men's league. There isn't an u23/u21 league over there as far as I can tell, they have a 'B' team. Happy to be shot down as I don't watch much German footy tbh.

    I just think to be able to cast our recruitment net as far as the German champs is a sign of how far we have developed behind the scenes. The quality may be no different to say Cirkin from Spurs, but the fact we even have the insight to identify a player like this just makes me think we arr much more progressive.

    That’s diabolical, it’s one thing giving out a frustrated groan but chanting that is vile. Arrogant scum.

    If RR are reporting this, is it safe to assume it's done? They way the club have done their business this season would suggest that nobody (except prehab :emoticon-0148-yes:) gets info unless its done and dusted. Scarf pic about 11am tomorrow?
