With the number of applicants going for jobs these days, face/hand/neck tattoos are a big risk. Not something I'd consider but you do get some well done ones and some truly awful ones. No way in a million years could I get away with one like. Neither could Ranges, as it goes.

Aye, got no doubt if Pards goes, Kinnear steps in and we abandon the DoF idea. Kinnear has even spoke in the past about wanting to be a DoF and said that he would have no problem with wanting to sack a manager performing poorly and then stepping in to perform his role.

He has a smiley face on the inside of his lip but it'll fade in a few years and disappear eventually.

It's a good gateway loan, but at his age I'd prefer he was on loan at a Championship club at the least. Still, only a month, I guess they're thinking they'll extend it if they can and we're hoping for a bigger club to come in.

It's one of those things when you're young and you think "nah, no chance it'll stop me being employed, I'll get a job no bother at all!" without knowing the reality of it. Tattoos shouldn't be frowned upon in the workplace, and places are getting more tolerant to visible ones, just not face or head tattoos as they do look quite intimidating to the average Joe. I think Nile should have thought this through as pretty soon he will have to look for gainful employment. His money won't last forever, I doubt he has a keen investment brain or is smart enough to hire someone who is good at that sort of thing. Anyways, glad we washed our hands of him. Very telling that he is still without a club. Is it due to lack of interest from clubs or lack of interest from him? He could have a canny career in the lower divisions if he pulled his socks up and sorted his act out.

Nothing says short term thinking quite like a face tattoo.

Bad treatment of the player from their part like. Sounds totally unprofessional. I love the bit in the article though, "A spokeswoman for the club declined to comment." Do they think we are totally dense?

Does he think he'll come across well doing that? Ultimate cringe by the time I gets to the Argentina goal.

If the fans didn't make a stand over Kinnear, they definitely won't over a new Shola contract. We're used to this shit already.

"Scoring goals is what I'm about." Can see him winding his contract down then somehow getting a new one.

Who will we cling onto when Shola retires and reward with contract after contract throughout their career that they simply do not deserve?

We are (hopefully) conversing with several clubs, or waiting for a bid for one of our own players before going into the advanced stages with Lyon and Gomis.

If the squad was invested in properly, there would be no problem in Ferguson going out on loan for a whole season. I hope we have a left winger in our sights to bring in. Hate the thought of Jonas out there for another season.

That Immobile guy is always the subject of part ownership bids on my save on FM. Been going on for about a year now. Might remove him from my short list, actually. Any case anyone was wondering.

Goodbye cruel world.

Perhaps the system he is looking to employ does not utilise the wide attackers as midfielders, but more forwards.

Ah well, Joey. You live and learn.

Knew nothing about him truth be told, but reading up on him and his story, he seemed like a fascinating bloke. RIP.

He looked a real threat in the Europa League. Came off the bench in the second leg didn't he, so maybe not an automatic starter there?

£4m seems like a really good price, compared to how much was being bandied about in 2008. Hope we can tie this deal up.

Reads to me like he has as they are working on improving it. Shame there are no new faces to add to this pre-season training camp.

Aye, get him out. Even more.

I thought this would have been tied up by now. It's inevitable. I'm not too fussed on this signing. Fairly cheap, has scored plenty goals in this league and it looks like a player our manager has identified, so you'd like to think he could get the best out of him by utilising a suitable system.

He'll have to add goals to his game to play that role. There's a lot more to come from this lad, he's incredibly talented.
