First impressions on this lad? It was a tiny cameo, but he looked quite sharp and seemed to like to move the ball about. Put in a couple of tackles, and generally looked to have more physical presence about him than I anticipated. Took a couple of decent set pieces as well. Think he may feature a bit more this season than the likes of Abeid and Vuckic did last season.

To be fair to Mike, he's slimmed down quite a bit. Can't possibly trouser as much now that he's dropped down a couple of sizes

Wages my good sir Yah but shouldn't City be asking for more? Makes sense to sell for low tbh. If he's on astronomical wages, they will drop their asking price so someone will take him off their hands. Simple really. The fact that he's not wanted at City determines the 5m fee, which is a derisory figure for a player of his calibre.

Chemnitz were a right bunch of pussies for a team that plays in the lower divisions. At first I didn't mind the ref giving them every decision, but despite it being our first game back, it started grinding on my nuts when they continued to fall and flail all over the place any time an NUFC player came near them. And their crowd was dross. Was expecting a colourful summer atmosphere, and it was nothing like that.

No should play football with the shirt tucked past the age of twelve. It is imbecilic. The kit looks fine on our players, anyway. yeah ok mate. Must have missed that stupidity in the rule book.

Get over yourselves ladies, it's just a fucking shirt to play football in.

Wish players would tuck their fucking shirts in. The shirt looks so much smarter on Ameobi for example.

They are. Sewelly you are an absolute legend. What a fantastic trip down memory lane. Goose bumps all the way. Many thanks for a top top effort

Couldn't they have got their football boots on for the shoot like?

trousered

Loving it

No thanks

Exactly my point. A couple of Charlton fans I know really rated Elliott but it'd be a big ask of him to fill in for Krul for any length of time. High pressure, that he's never had. Harper would still be my choice, but would you want to go through half a season with him? This is the reason I would have wanted to keep Forster.

It's concerning how much weight he may have put on whilst out. He does have a tendency to pork up. I would have agreed in the past, however I reckon AP and JC would be on top of that. JC especially will know him well, and will have made sure he kept relatively in shape throughout his down time.

Fuck off you lot, he's ours

or Jimmy Nail

da fuck is an open secret?

Here's a question for yer... Can you imagine after speaking with Donachie actually offering him a contract and employing the bloke? I think I'd barely make it through the small talk before launching myself off of the nearest cliff to escape his nasal Scottish 'paranoid android' drone. Therefore, we must conclude that oor Willie is one mutherfuker of a reserve team manager and a coach extraordinaire. Yes? Well I'd like to think that, and you do make a good point. His track record isn't glorious though, and hearing the bloke speak, I can't imagine he'd inspire much confidence in a tree cricket let alone rising football stars from abroad.

Seems like a promising talent. My only worry is WD being in charge of the Development Squad. Not sure what this fella brings to the table like. Welcome aboard Biggi.

Now that Best is gone, this had better be Good!

he'll score a hattrick this season

ye

Nice. Hope the detestable cunt leaves the PL.
