    Another potentially, very good signing through the door, 

    proper powerhouse, glides with the ball and a player who still has raw potential, let’s hope he unlocks it with us

    welcome Egbo

    The love island tweet seems to have rubbed off, they seem very happy to see each other again! 
  • Pleased with this, I wonder if we'll still bring in Johnson.

    you’ve been beaten by 24 hours! Joking aside it was always one that was on the cards, there aren’t many attacking wing backs going for cheap.

    I dare not comment after the Sean Clare braids photo!

    Lovely shirt.
  • Met Desmond Tutu years ago, now I know I will bump into Mandela at the Valley. Great stuff. Welcome.

    Ex Palace academy player (as we need our quota of former Palace players!) so knew Garner from there, before his brief spell at Swindon

    Ex-Palace as a Charlton full back? It’ll never work…

    …I’ll say it again. Another experienced, young player on a good contract. Keep ‘em coming and welcome Mandela!

    If we are raiding Swindon Town, then I would like to us sign Harry McKirdy - I like the cut of his jib from what I saw on the TV last season

    Ffs!  Agreed though it was always pointing towards this guy.

    Welcome Mandela. I'm getting good vibes from this transfer window so far.

    Depends how many Swindon vouchers we have left.

    We've already used a few on Jaiyesimi and Egbo, there is rumour of Louis Reed joining too

    Their fans are going to hate us soon
    They will hate is even more if we send Jaiyesimi back.........

    Agree and with what @d@DamoNorthStand said earlier.  I hadn’t heard of either of these players before and can’t get excited or underwhelmed either way.  
     They could both turn out to be excellent/average/poor.  Hopefully the former and they deliver - 2 in 2 days is pleasing though given the work that has to be done

    Welcome Mandela.
    Great shirt.
    Make sure you’re a winner.

    Goes to show that Garner clearly does get a fairly big say in the signings as there can't have been much for the black box to go on with Egbo only playing 9 league games for Swindon last season. He did get 3 assists in those 9 games though so not bad at all. Always a good sign when the manager can bring in the players he wants and we've not spent anything on transfer fees yet. A really good start

    'The Mandela effect' 

    When he nods home a 89th minute corner on his debut.

    Give them Davison in part exchange. 
    Win Win.

    Pleased with this. A proper Right Wing Back.Need a left footer to compliment him.

    Remember Monchengladbach was the club where Allan Simonsen made his name. Hopefully a good omen.

    Really hope so. Type of shithouse player we need.

    More like when a group of CL members swear blind he was signed as a central midfielder

    They don’t - we do on both counts 👌

    That came out of left field for the new right back, but I was watching that Swindon fans forum video " fool's rush in" yesterday, the one derailed by reports of Garner's departure and this lad seemed a popular guy to have around.

    I wondered where he'd end up, but didn't honestly see it being here. Pleased though. Welcome Mandela 👍

    I'm liking the way this week's going so far. Keep em rolling in lads.

    Garner will convince them.
  • Chalk and cheese 🧀  with the fashion sense between Egbo and Garner... ones all fruity and colourful,  the others straight as a dye plain white tee-shirt

    I must be the only one who hadn’t got a clue what that introduction video was all about 🤷🏼‍♂️
    https://www.myimperfectlife.com/features/love-island-quotes-phrases

    13. I’VE GOT A TEXT

    The most iconic phrase of all. When the islanders shout “I've got a text” it means the Love Island gods (aka show producers) are intervening and something is about to go down. It's either a recoupling or elimination night announcement, news of a new arrival, a challenge or a date. You never know what you're going to get! 


    Mishegas! Am I glad I don't watch Love Island.
