Edinburghdon Posted July 15, 2013 Report Posted July 15, 2013 6 month deal. Ā Damn it, beat me to it by 36 secondsĀ Quote
Nellie The Don Posted July 15, 2013 Report Posted July 15, 2013 Just 6 month deal instead of at least a season seems an odd choice.Ā Ā Quote
manc_don Posted July 16, 2013 Report Posted July 16, 2013 Possibly just to let him prove his fitness? Unless our first target becomes available then? Quote
tlg1903 Posted July 16, 2013 Report Posted July 16, 2013 or he wanted to see how he settled up here Quote
Jute Posted July 16, 2013 Report Posted July 16, 2013 Was a good keeper at Arabs and think he will be a good addition to the squad although would rather he was here for the season rather than 6 months. Do you make a keeper who is on a short term deal your number 1? Quote
CtS Posted July 16, 2013 Report Posted July 16, 2013 Just another run of the mill keeper, I'm seeing a pattern here. Quote
manc_don Posted July 16, 2013 Report Posted July 16, 2013 Just another run of the mill keeper, I'm seeing a pattern here. Ā Ā He might knit into the fabric of the team set up quite nicely. Quote
BigAl Posted July 16, 2013 Report Posted July 16, 2013 Was he in nets for the Arabs when Der Hun put seven past them a few years back ? Quote
BigAl Posted July 16, 2013 Report Posted July 16, 2013 To be "fair" "isle" reserve judgement until I've seen him play Quote
CtS Posted July 16, 2013 Report Posted July 16, 2013 You trying to put a negative spin on this signing Al? Quote
BigAl Posted July 16, 2013 Report Posted July 16, 2013 This came out of left wing yesterday. The background as to how it came about as seems a little "woolly" Quote
Jute Posted July 16, 2013 Report Posted July 16, 2013 Was he in nets for the Arabs when Der Hun put seven past them a few years back ? Ā Yes think he was and had a nightmare from memory. Quote
