I will reserve judgement. Not acceptable, you are required by custom and practice here to write him off instantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you never indulge in player speculation with fellow fans when out and about - atm. Reid, Flint, Bryan etc? Roboticred might be a more suitable name perhaps? That very scenario happened in the local Tesco about an hour ago. I shrugged my shoulders and said ' it may or may not be happening' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 If true, it does cast doubt on some of the suggestions LJ is quite far removed from transfer dealings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProfitInMyPocket Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 If that's the quality of our signings I am a little worried. Just have a feeling we've had our pants pulled down with that fee. Wait and see I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Musicworks Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 Kent, Leko and Eliason all seemed to be inspiring signings so maybe underwhelming is good. Wilbs on the other hand was not. After the talk about Albert and McGeady maybe this seems an anti-climax but assuming it’s true let’s keep our powder dry and give the guy a chance even if it’s not the OTIB way.

Lanterne Rouge Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 Sometimes it works out for a player at a club and sometimes it doesn`t. Sometimes it`s right player, right club, right time. None of us know how this one will work out but I just hate all the negative responses based on a player`s previous record. To use the Norwich connection for an example, Sergi Canos? Useless for them but a world beater for Brentford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Army 87 Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 Good positional signing if true. We don’t have many wingers as Paterson and brownhill tended to fill in there. Haven’t seen a lot of Watkins but reputation pre Norwich was good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Don Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 Have a really good feeling about this one despite the Norwich fans jubilation at his departure, there definitely a good player in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Army 75 Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 Because he hasn’t done well at his previous club. Doesn’t mean he won’t do well here. Give the bloke a chance ffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
