    We've signed him and since he's been in the team we've won 5 on the bounce. He's the most creative and 'flair' player that the Championship has seen since Adel Taarabt left in my opinion.

    Rumour has it we signed him for over 2m so you could have had a tidy profit from him, too.

    What's the deal with the Bates/takeover deal scenario? On track? <ok> Cheers lads <cheers>

    I've never even heard of the guy, am I behind the times on this? Who the hell is he?

    Not being ignorant on purpose btw, I just have this habit of missing out on important, up to date information and gossip <laugh>

    That's sort of my point.

    We've signed some unknown lad from a French League 2 side, Guingamp. He has been absolutely superb for us.

    Kiwi,

    Pains me to say it but he's a great player from what I've seen, our loss is Leicester's gain

    "then flew to Leeds United, one of the great names of English sport." <whistle>

    Looks like Bates ****ed us over with that one too, ah well.

    Didn't Marseille get Drogba from Guingamp?

    Ah well, I suppose it makes up for them gifting us Gradel and Kisnorbo over the last few years. Although his second goal is just outrageous, lovely technique!

    Hopefully we have a few players of our own coming through the ranks of the same quality

    Great goals.

    But 2 goals in 10 appearances..... Not the finished article yet give him a few years and we might take him.

    Thanks for keeping him in shape.

    Ah, but a goalscorer he is not. I'd like to know how many chances he's created. I can think of about 4/5 assists off the top of my head, let alone all of the chances.
