    Train with the first team, get game time with the U21's and adapt to life in England. If it doesn't go well, go back to Scandinavia. I also thought it was weird at first but I kind of like it as it gives all parties a chance to assess things 
    So Finland is in Scandinavia? Where do you place England, in the Balkans?
    Look, European geography isn’t our strong point. It’s all over there somewhere.

    So I make that the fourth Finn in the club’s history (Johansson, Niemi and Tanska) although only one of those ever played for the first team. I hope Otto has a bit more luck. 
    Carl Jenkinson was too, even capped by Finland at youth level.

    A blast from the past, as Stevenage sign Matt Smith who was a free agent.

    The second of our Matt Smiths, the Arsenal one

    I thought he was meant to be doing quite well at Wigan 
  • I’m guessing we don’t have the squad number to dip into the free agent market for a winger or number 10

    For me - I would like to see a RW and someone who can play in this 10 role.. I don't think we have anyone that is really suited to that role.

    Only Knibbs Grant and Carey …. Knibbs was excellent in pre season and really linked up well with Grant very unlucky not to start the season 
    They are not a natural number 10. They are players that playing as 10! 
    What would you say Carey and Knibbs natural position is then? 
    Certainly not a 10. Ball control no where near good enough. They are advanced midfielders! Or 8s
    If you look at the modern game, especially in the championship, the best ball players now play deeper where there is more space to get on the ball. Number 10s are more important to pressing and out of possession than they are to building attacks

    Thats why we wanted to sign Holsgrove to play in one of those deeper positions. 
    So can you please tell me again about number 10! The Cardiff 10 is an example of what we need!

    We can't sign anyone, we don't have the squad space

    • Outside the Window: Outside of transfer windows, you cannot alter your squad list freely; you must apply and receive explicit permission from the EFL to remove or add a senior player.
    • The Process: Clubs must submit requests to include or remove a player from their official squad list via the league's designated administrative system (such as iFAS) as directed by the EFL

    We would be ok if the criterion is they are injured half the time and effing useless the other half.
