Weird signing it it happens - almost seems as if Rosenior is trying to construct a team rather than just sign a load of players - whatever next…..

Apropos of nothing, but does anybody think the (over) analysis of football and footballers is taking a lot of joy out of the game? In particular, when a new signing comes in and armchair experts and statisticians  have already decided how good he is, where he will play, how many goals he’ll score, how many ‘key passes’ he’ll make, where on the pitch he will spend most of his time and his overall value to the team. I find it really tiresome. Am I alone in that?
I welcome any signing. Can’t wait to see them play and then I’ll judge them after that (not using stats or heat maps, but using my eyes and nearly 50 years of watching football).

Me reading the last few pages of this thread

Gives away too many free kicks and penalties, due to his poor technique. 
He puts his left leg in, then pulls his left leg out, in, out, in, out, shakes it all about.

Watched it when it was first on TV - I remembered the humour but I’d forgotten just how bleak it was…..

unless he brings £20M with him.....?

Why would the club need a guide dog though?

Let's just say that you could tell they were brothers....

Agreed - much more like: "Derby have the ball - oh look a pigeon...."

I think we were the more convent-ional option
