manc_don Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 So the guys from MAD were correct then! I am happy with this signing. Nice to have another left footer at the club! Well done AFC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friedrichs Moustache Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Good signing. Decent free kick on the chap too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 An authentic left back. Looked OK at United, works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
??? Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 An authentic left back. Looked OK at United, works for me. A left back full stop. Shown a lot of promise, hopefully this can be the club for him. My only minor gripe would be the fact he's only signed a 2-year deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millers Tache Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Two year deals are a load of shite. You get one good season out of a player, then he leaves for nothing after attracting attention. That said, my level of happiness is high at the news of this signing. A proper, left footed, Scotland U21 capped left back. Hope he works out better than the last full back we signed from Wolves... Is there a fee? I'd be pleasantly surprised if there wasn't, as Swindon had a £150k offer for him accepted last month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baggy89 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Thank fuck! At last a signing to be genuinely pleased about. A left back who'd have thunk it. Heres too, two injury free years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrlandoDon Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Well done AFC!! Next, central defender, right back, left mid, and forward please :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be surprised if Swindon really bid £150k they were days away from being wound up last season (allegedly), and afaik are still hemorrhaging money.

We nearly got him a while back so he neatly ticks all the boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelt Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Out of the blue we sign, what looks like, a pretty talented player. http://www.afc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/News/clubNewsDetail/0,,10284~1344638,00.html He looks like he gets his eyebrows done, and he'll no doubt be growing that hair out so he can get frosted tips like his new ladyboy teammates. A two year deal seems to be just asking for him to leave on a freebie though. Typical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelt Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 That could have been the deal breaker though A longer deal with a release clause shouldn't be out of the question. Hibs manage to persuade their youngsters to stay with the promise of release if a reasonable fee is met. Even a 150k release clause isn't too much to ask...

What if it's went the other way though, and that he'll get an extension on his 2 years should he perform well in his first 6 months, or something to that effect. Ensuring a player is giving their all isn't too much to ask... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glasgowdon Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 A left back? Holy shit! Delighted. Foster to right back if McNamee is off the cards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelt Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Ensuring a player is giving their all isn't too much to ask... My opinion exactly. And a release clause with a longer term contract does nothing to change that. Oh, and... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil-stellaartois-mcguire Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 fantastic - out of the blue and a left pegger. Don't think there's been one of them here for....years. but typical moaning fuckers some of you lot would complain if Cameron Diaz were giving out free blowjobs.

Tyrant Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Magical. Good news. Had the same concerns about the shortness of contract but can AFC afford more than a 2 year deal? If he does well in his first 6 months get him signed up for another year or two. Same goes for Lee Miller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc_don Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Metro was saying it was an 80K deal! If thats true then thats a good bit of business by AFC. Did I just say that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyBiscuit Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 some of you lot would complain if Cameron Diaz were giving out free blowjobs. I wouldn't complain but I'd be indifferent. Strange looking girl, it has to be said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
