    this is all very well but not only does his name have funny little grave things  but no squad number

    Were not signing him to score goals feller, we’ve got our rip-roaring forward line smashing that out of the park haven’t we!

    Bell to start tomorrow and this guy coming on in the second half is my take. 
    Bell not fit enough .. NJ said he could only manage 20 mins

    I'm looking to all the mis-spelling's of his surname in the post match thread tomorrow.
    Nothing more certain.

    I wonder in Paul Kanchelskis will be watching.

    Would imagine this is a Phil Chappel find. He's got a decent career record has JR let's hope he still has the legs.

    Cawley says he's been training with us for a few weeks so hopefully go some amount of fitness. I don't know what it says though that we had him training with us for a few weeks and still sent Hernandez out onto the pitch. Hopefully we were trying to avoid to have to pay for both of them if we could rather than Hernandez being assessed as more useful than Rousillon.
    I imagine he wasn't match fit, whereas Hernandez was. 

    Bell and Burke were injured on the 1st November. I imagine after that game we then decided to sign a free agent defender, and it's taken this long to get Rousillon in and up to speed.
    And also Hernandez is not a defender.

    Possibly a Phil Chapple find.
    Either way - welcome!

    basically pay as you play deal to earn a deal, so no brainer really.. Sounds like he was a half decent player, but has played little since.

    Unfortunately we paid a transfer fee for Traore.

    Yeah he is, confirmed in Cawley’s article.

    As we know, there’s a distinction between being fit and match fit. I can’t imagine we’ll see him tomorrow but hopefully he’ll be able to play a role next month.

    We signed him before the deadline today so that he can play tomorrow. Will definitely be in the squad but I reckon there’s a good chance he starts

    we need cover down the left and I would rather a left footed defender fill in than a makeshift Hernandez or Campbell.  My worry is that we got our summer recruitment slightly off in the summer having brought in Hernandez and now this guy.  

    These are the equivalent signings to bringing Lua Lua and Hylton over the last couple of seasons.  Cover, and saying, we’re short

    January is a tough window to sign long term players, but I hope we have 2 or 3 lined up to make us better.

    even the likes of Burke, we knew his injury record before he came here.  I know we can’t compete with the millions thrown around in this division, but I hope the owners can see, we still need more.  It’s the nature of the division and the money in the game these days

    I do actually have an Union Berlin supporting mate:

    ‘Looked decent in the early days, off the pace since then, might do a job at that level. Never really cracked it at Union, useful in bursts but the injuries are why he’s not found a club.’

    Did I read somewhere he's been training with us 5 weeks? Maybe he can do an hour tomorrow.

    Then he’s a better man than me.

    To protect our lead. Good thinking.

    Is Jerome pronounced as in ‘Robson & Jerome’ or Jero-me as in Beadle?

    At least give him time to kick a football, before singing a song about him.
