    Is it obligatory for Rodwell to add his two penneth on every signing ? 😉😀
    Seeing he will be with Carter on Thursday fielding questions from supporters ,think the answer is Yes.

    He could be great, he could be shit. Time will tell. Worries me that Sparta Prague have now loaned him out two seasons on the trot after paying decent money for him. Why? I’m also concerned with Chalobah’s fitness record. I think too many are getting carried away that we’ve solved our midfield issues with these two signings. Could be back to Doc and Cov before long. Not being negative, just concerned, one has a dubious discipline record and is relatively inexperienced, the other injury prone.

    I'm liking - 

    I think we have a shot of staying up - I like it.

    It has been sensible recruitment across the board - I think Jones' maniac wants to do more this year and prove himself further. 

    Onto Derby - who we will beat on Saturday

    You have changed your tune after Timothy and Nathaniel have entered the building.
    Your posts were desperate before they joined.

    Good to see you happy and that we are going to beat Derby 😃
    The idea of going through new ownership was just killing me. 

    With two midfielders in I think we have a must better looking squad.

    Made his Kenyan debut when 17 and is still only 22, so if he's any good and we take him on a permanent deal, there's resale value

    This is one of the nicest things about being back in the Championship is we can start be brining a few of these random signings from foreign climes. Everyone has the potential to become a Radostin Kishishev cult hero or go down in infamy Omar Pouso/Cory Gibbs style. 

    There’s just something a bit more exciting about the possibility of the unknown. 

    Welcome Tim.

    First signing this window that I have been willing them to announce. Absolutely nuts as a week ago Inhad never heard of him…..

    On paper he is everything we have been missing in midfield for quite a while.

    Really hope this turns out to be top notch papyrus and not Andrex
    Fuck off , as probably the UK’s biggest individual buyer of Andrex I’m insulted by this .
    I buy the pink pack , previously known as the Purple one and it’s as fine as a tissue paper as you could ever wish for , strong and soft,  it’s the rolls Royce of bog roll 
    I’ve been to Egypt and papyrus paah , you can stick that up your arse ,it’s not going anywhere near mine .

    The worry is in our league players are better at stopping you playing by trying to negate your strengths.

    I did enjoy watching Ouma's interview... there is the understandable language barrier, but when Olly asked him how he ended up here, I thought he was going to reply along the lines of: "Well I got on a plane mate"

    When Victor Wanyama made his debut for Kenya 2 decades ago at 15 years old, it was a journey that took him from Beerschot to Celtic, Saints and Spurs in his pro career before going to Canada and then back to Scotland with Dunfermline.

    I wondered if this would open the door for Kenyans to come in numbers to the EFL, with some emulating  Wanyama and play in the Premier ?
    It didn't, and at the moment there are two Kenyans in the EFL: Collins Sichenje and Timothy Ouma.
    Tyler Onyango doesn't count as he was born in Luton and has an English mum and was in Everton's academy.

    Now if Big Phil Chapple believes in them with his vast experience of Scouting then that is a good recommendation but it is left field and I understand why CAFC have tried a different African Country to try to get value as on the surface it looks untapped.

    My posts before weren't to be pessimistic but realistic as we've had major let downs on numerous occasions after big build up by CL members.

    With Collins and Timothy being room mates for Kenya then it will help Ouma settle in London.

    It will be brilliant if both Sichenje and Ouma become regulars but I will reserve judgement for now.

    Past experience taught me that.
