    Hmm.

    When has a player signing interview ever mentioned the CEO working hard to get the deal done?

    I find it hard to believe this was offered spontaneously.

    Exactly what i thought, probably a slip of the finger on the keyboard by the comms team.

    Welcome Ricky and all the very best of good fortune & luck .. Good to see a player who, if the video is anything to go by, likes to have a shot and is very calculated and accurate when doing so .. not the most consistent of scorers he looks more like a powerful runner from midfield, so he'll need an experienced striker to play off him .. all in all a good signing and if Johnny be Good goes, good luck and farewell, we could do with the money and a more consistent performer

    Or maybe he is perceptive enough to know that she's had a lot of flak lately and she did actually contribute to this transfer .

    Either way I'm happy that he is a spokesperson

    There is no way he said that on his own behalf and it wouldn't surprise me if a certain individual put that in themselves to make them look good.

    It's too late Daisy, too late

    Funny how the signing is pleasing news, yet the very mention of thanking Katrien angers me

    I think we all feel the same!

    He very much looks like a JBG replacement... He's not the fastest but can (probably) cross and definitely get a shot away.
    Well JBG was never going to stay was he ? After the bullshit they told him last summer just to get him to sign a new contract who can blame him ?

    Well, there's our one step forward, what's the two steps back to be? JBG leaving on a free? Cousins joining Palace?

    i think there'll be another couple of signings before our decent players are flogged off.

    Northampton fans are unsurprisingly unhappy. Taken from their forum:

    Marquis - Replaceable
    Rose - Replaceable
    Adams - Replaceable
    Collins - Replaceable

    Holmes - Irreplaceable

    -------------Pope
    Solly - Tex - Bauer - *New*
    ---------Kashi - Cousins
    Holmes --- Watt --- *New*
    --------------Ajoze

    With Novak as a backup up top, Harriett and Fox/THD backup on left looks strong as fuck to me

    Was this the bloke we was linked with when Wilder was going to come in?

    Yes he was.
    So not really a Slade signing then, one of his "top targets" who happened to be linked with us a month before. hmmmm
    So two managers can't share an appreciation of a player?

    As she contributed to or was responsible for every one of the bad decisions made over the last two and a half years, culminating in the team's relegation and the alienation of thousands of fans, presumably.

    Doesn't Holmes mainly play on the left?

    According to transfermarkt he is a LW

    Could that mean:

    -------------POPE
    SOLLY---BAUER---TEXEIRA---THD
    JBG-----KASHI---COUSINS---HOLMES
    -------WATT-----AJOSE

    IF JBG, Tex, Kashi, Cousins and Watt stay?

    I'm assuming the others will be here.

    watching the goals video of Holmes he ran with the ball either from the right or centrally, not the left

    Swap in Diarra for Cousins if he does end up going.
