Not that long but you can tell it's mentally scarred him They will struggle to get him on the training pitch if that lad signs. You can see how nervous Haidara is of any physical contact these days and he has scarcely played since. In which case it's hardly a massive loss to the club, is it? Ship Haidara on to somewhere else where they play a softer, less aggressive game - like Tiddlywinks or My Little Pony. Come off it man. I'm not going to go against Rafa's decisions on signings, but that tackle was a disgrace. Two words: Sarfraz Najeib. But maybe because that assault took place on a street outside a nightclub, rather than on a football pitch, somehow it's not so bad as what McNanaman did to Haidara. We ended up signing both Woodgate and Bowyer though, remember. Both feted as heroes. Think folks need to get a bit of perspective here... I was referring more to your suggestion that Haidaira was a softy due to getting fucked by a horror tackle. Aye, OK. But the point I'm making is that folks didn't quibble about Bowyer or Woodgate signing did they? Even though their temperaments were even more highly questionable than McNanaman's might be. Although I do have to say I'm not so bothered about Haidara staying or getting upset or whatever. Third ranking player whose clearly unlikely to be making much of an impression, while he stays on the payroll, draining the salary budget for negligible purpose?

Just so long as he isn't De Jong, mark II...

Well, that was an interesting Google search. Thanks for that.

I'm confused. I'd be really interested to know the basis upon which you've decided he's a massive cunt.

Pretty sure I can remember some folk saying signing Bowyer was a terrible move (ahem) but it worked out more than OK in the end, until it was handbags at high noon with Dyer mid-match. Maybe we could look forward to a repeat with Macca vs Haidara? I say sign him. At worst, it'll be a laugh in training and at best, it could kick start the lad's career again.

Bet Massadio is chuffed... http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8378/8564708205_8fbe228daf_o.gif

This thread is like a really badly informed game of Cluedo.

Probably Alan Pardew.

That sounds fun.

Verlaine, then.

Blatantly Invicta Toon.

Pounewatchy. Spends his day staring at vaginas.

Sounds like he'd be a great signing for Hibs.

Is this lad staying on under benitez or will he just be loaned out again or what? Anyone heard anything?

Diego Swarfega

Well, that sounds vaguely homerotic.

Next club captain then? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36942131 Been impressed with his attitude but does he have the charisma and authority required to rule the dressing room?

This.

I know a Blackburn supporting mate of mine who will be going radge about this. He'll be more gutted about this than when Shearer signed for us.

Just catching up with this thread and I may have missed an in-joke here about Sutty but judging by his other tweets, that account looks a bit dodgy to say the least? Is he a paedo or something? https://twitter.com/peter_sutty/status/739748226157445120

A whole bloody family could fit on there! On a single seat? I doubt it.
