Interesting that you should mention food when discussing Nimes, for we had a similar discussion quite some time ago. Nimes, of course, as well as being famous for its jeans - denim (de Nimes) - was also the origin of the salt cod dish, Brandade de Morue. I am sure Niclas will have a wonderful time there, although it is certainly a bit warmer than his native Sweden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a whole episode about how the development of Denim was instrumental in the winning of the West of America, it's origin was one of those facts that I have never forgotten.

Isn't Montpellier their big derby game? Should be a good one for him to make his debut in! I've also seen they have PSG at home the game after too!!

James Burke (who is still alive, by the way) is an absolute genius. If you ever get the chance to view his opening to a TV show in the same series where a space rocket takes off in the distance whilst he does a piece to camera, take it, it is just mind blowing. His ability to explain complicated concepts in a way that someone like me, who had little interest in science & understood even less, was just amazing. His TV shows should definitely be a part of the education syllabus. 1 minute ago, Kingswoodactor said: Isn't Montpellier their big derby game? Should be a good one for him to make his debut in!

They are available on Youtube although, I have just been looking for the episode I mentioned and can't find it so maybe I am getting mixed up with another show of his. I agree he was a great broadcaster and was never quite sure why he disappeared from our screens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James used to be on Tomorrow's World and I think he led the BBC coverage of the moon landings. It was definitely him that talked about denim, which show is the only question.

Maybe we did get the best out of him....maybe he hasn’t got the football intelligence / maturity? I don’t know, just that I saw him fail to do add anything unless he had the ball at his feet. I know that sounds a stupid comment, but I rarely saw him (for example) come off the right touch line to create space for Hunt to overlap. Teams didn’t always have to double up on him either, because good blocking of passing lanes were enough to stop the ball getting to him. To thrive at Nimes he will need to be a focal point of their play. Ive no idea how good Nimes are in Ligue1 in comparison to top end of the Champ....or how tactical Ligue1 is beneath the “big clubs”. Good luck to him...will look forward to new highlight reels. i can see him fetching 7 --10 mill in a couple of seasoms if things work out and he continues to progress.......I just hope we include a substantial sell on percentage. I don't care what anyone says, i definitely will miss him, Shane..........but i understand why he has to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, we are selling him because he's out of contract next summer and won't sign a new one. If we categorically will not play with wingers at any point this season why did we bother offering him a new one? There is no chance we will go through all 46 games this season playing only 3-5-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just over £2m. I just hope we have a hefty sell-on percentage as I can see him moving for an eight-figure fee in a few years, especially if he plays on the flanks of a front three.
