Shukes

I'm confused by the reactions. He's had his one and only medical at FF today. Hopefully announced tomorrow.

Has he had it though?

They said the same last week and I can't see it on SSN or the official site.

Don't they have the fans pretty far from the pitch though?

Would hate a stadium with a running track.

 

He's turning 32 in three weeks. He isn't in his prime, he's nearing the end of his career.

I have never known him to be so highly regarded as he is now.

If this isn't his prime then he must have been one of the best kept secrets.

This is a signing that excites me at last. Real steel and leadership.

Big strong and experienced defender.

10m is cheap for him.

Again same as last match, not very direct other than gerry

...who is always direct.

Outplayed and outfought.

I know it's only pre season and it's....all about fitness....but it's not looking good is it.

Very poor.

Mirralas

Gibson

Lennon

Look squad fillers at best.

 

are you serious he was shit against MK dons. I would be really worried if he was our keeper next season

Thank you, you made me smile

stekelenberg leaves his line and kills the breakaway, he's definately an upgrade on howard and robles.

Was just thinking the same thing.

Refreshing to see a keeper be more of a commander than a basic shot stopper.

Shit me...that's a stunning free kick Gerry.

I think that's more because of rest periods etc and not playing many senior players.

Will be interesting to see the starting eleven in the next match which will be our best opponents yet.

Good effort Stones and great play Gerry.

Makes things happen that lad.

Coleman with the schoolboy error....never call for someone else.

Gibson won't start before Barry or McCarthy.

Best of luck. Didn't work out for you here and I hope you get chance to show what you can do.

Great decision. One of our best players and a rolemodel to the younger lads.

Some desicions are based on the team and not the individual.

Just spoken to his agent Mountinho, he says it will be completed in 48 hours.

Wouldn't mind Varane or Glik, not sure about Veltman, haven't seen anything of him.

To he honest I don't know too much about European football anymore

valencia want 21m for mustafi almost half what napoli want for this guy.

Ye but Mustafi is not even half the player. Very average player, we only rate him because he once played for us.

Might be OK as a squad filler

Why hasn't he been quoted then?

Or is he just a media genius?

Honestly didn't see much difference from last season.

Lots if backwards passing again and several times we got our defence into trouble from being in an attacking position.

Second half was a bore fest.

Maybe Ronnie is just looking to see what we have...still, early days.

Surprised to say that this is one of the best games I seen from McGeady.

Agree, Davies is looking a class act.

Can we nickname him Taj?

Unlucky there from Tara, ball flicked up and hit his hand bit a cool finish.

Good finish there. Should have been tighter.
