Seriously I have one day away from spending any major time on the forum and this happens!! http://www.theargus.co.uk/sport/alb...f_reinforcing_goalkeeper_options_with_Steele/ I know it's been said above but **** me - it needs re-iterating!! This is one of the best sales the club has ever done. Although... What if the "Fee agreed" is that we are paying them to take him?
I'm sure that we can organise a few Fans to help with the packing. Specially any fragile valuables which for obvious reasons shouldn't be left to him.
