Fergie surely had a word in JK's ear on this one. What a signing!!! 

Thought the same. He had a familiar ear at both ends saying nice things about the club.

I havent seen Jesper quoted as saying he’s looking forward to developing a strong partnership with yengi?

not a bad window overall, guess we saved Turnbull until January!

[manc_don]

I still can't believe we've pulled this one off. Thank you Rama and Fergie who must have reassured him. The JT connection obviously can't be down played either. Superb stuff.

Yep, he'll do.

Not being greedy, but since we didnt sign a central midfielder, I really would like to see what Kjarten can do. We have nisbet and lazetic fighting for the 9, yengi as backup, and 5 competing for the 3 attacking mids, 6 if you include polvara. Decent depth.

Some cracking goals. Pretty much a right footed inverted winger, certainly moves ahead of topi on the left. Wouldn’t mind topi on the right anyway, although i think milanovic has played better than topi season to date. 
good two weeks to get the squad to train and gel, really intrigued by karlsson and lazetic in particular. What kind of shape is nisbet in??

He's been a late sub in Millwall's last two games so with two weeks training he'll be fine for an hour at least.

Truth or fictitious shite 

So then fellow D.T'ers, a very good morning to you all.

Really wasn't at all sure about the validity of the Italian journalist that broke this one last night.

 I waited and waited until 1 a.m local time to see if they t was true and the hour came without confirmation so delighted to awaken to the confirmation that it had happened 

Wonder if this was the target that was referred to in the post Morton interview where it was claimed we were after someone of real quality that would excite the fans 

If not, then got to wonder who that was

What a right peg he's got on him. Almost all those goals are from just outside the box, a bit to the left. So basically get him set up there and he's gonna score.

So I'm old enough to remember exactly where I was when I heard that Charlie had signed it was the biggest thing ever ( Al will confirm spinetingling stuff) 

This is quite exciting then  

Oh the good old days before instant news via the internet.

I remember waking up on 1st January 1988 around 3pm with a mother fucker of a headache and hangover and reading of Nicholas signing for us. Didn't really believe it until I went to the shop down the road and there it was in the Daily Record.

Think in my time supporting The Dons the only other signing that comes close was the return of King Joey. Gillhaus deserves a mention because he was coming as a Dutch internationalist and European Cup winner although we probably didn't realise just how good he was 

Going back to Nicholas, I mind standing on the terracing at Easter Road (9th Jan 1988) when he made his debut. Had a wee scuffle with some Leith pricks outside before the game  I probably only remember so clearly as it was my turn to drive (so unusually sober for a game back then) and as I stayed in Inverness then and it was a hoor o a journey up the A9 in blizzards.

Halcyon days, great memories

They don't show you the 78 efforts he blootered over the stand though. 

He certainly turns a bad window into a nae bad window. Obviously, he's just a stop gap, but it buys us time until January, when we can address the glaring issue of midfield. It's clearly a difficult time to be buying players. In terms of squad building for Europe, I think we're nowhere near the required level, but it is what it is. Hopefully by January we'll have a good picture of where the new signings are at, and we've had six months to nail down a potential midfielder. We're putting all our eggs in one basket with this lad, so he better not get injured!

Edit: oh, aye, welcome back Kevin

Weegie pish

Did Nick go to bed early after quickly penning some old firm shite and a couple of afterthoughts?

You obviously didn't party to the extent I did in the 80's.

Mind, you are a fair bit younger

Apologies but at the risk of repeating what I said last night, did the Boyd move to Villa take place or not

Not seen anything from the club on it at all
