nufcjb Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 (edited) He injured his jaw. Possible cheekbone fracture. Trying to smile in the photoshoot. They had to bring in Nick Pope, Ryan Fraser and Dan Burn as props and do silly stuff but just couldn't manage to get that smile.

Paullow Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 I think that thread title needs amending to announced 'in due course'. Thought it would have been this morning before I woke up like when Trippier signed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffee_Johnny Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Starting to feel uncomfortable about this. I know it has been a full on day in some parts of the club, but it hardly impacts on doing an interview video and taking a few stills. Even if the handshake with the boss is last on the list surely they could have knocked something out in 24 hours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffee_Johnny Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Feels like we’ve been waiting, one way it another, for stuff all day. Only thing, bar an anomaly in the medical, which springs to my (hopefully unnecessarily worrying…) worrying mind that may require a manager sit down talk, pre-signing, is some sort of guaranteed minutes/first choice conversation. Doubt that would be Howe’s kind of thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if the lad we seen climbing out of the famous black people carrier was actually a stunt double, and the real Sven Botman was in Milan, signing a contract with Maldini as we speak.

Dr Jinx Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 It’s fairly straight forward. The medical was fine, he wouldn’t have been at SJP afterwards otherwise. Contract also done, that was Dan’s role in it. Eddie Howe will be up to give an interview on this one as it’s a significant signing.. a coup as you would. So they’ll make a bigger deal out of this one than the previous. Video team will have most of it put together and will be splicing in bits as we speak.

Mazzy Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Any players in our current team that Botman would know or have played with? We don't have any Dutch players obviously so perhaps we need to get him a Dutch friend in next as priority? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love it if it was actually Shaun Williamson who's rocked up instead of Botman and he's just playing the whole thing straight bat. Speaks to Howe, signs the paperwork, does the photos in St James and the interview on NUFCTV. "Yeah Im really happy to be here and I wish all the best to Lille. Janiiine!"
