    This is getting ridiculous... all we're doing is signing attacking midfielders

    You've got to laugh!
    can't understand it - thought our midfield was good last year - created loads of chances.

    THIS SIGNING EXCITES ME HUGELY

    fast, skilful and eye for a goal

    Think of a Waggy with a trick!

    It's a coup because other teams were in for him. Teams in higher divisions.

    Fair play to Mr Slater and co - good targets identified and seemingly signed up

    Couple of defenders and we're looking exciting

  • to those moaning about how many midfielders we have...surely we now have 4 CM (Jackson, Alonso, Hollands & Stephens) - sounds about right to me esp as Jackson at least is versatile and can play wing/LB.  Personally I still reckon we need another winger even if we get Green as at the mo we only really have Waggy.  Then 1 more striker (to make 4) and a whole load of defenders...

    I don't think we have too many central midfielders, it's just rare to have all our options other than McCormack seemingly being quite good.

    You must be worried with the amount of midfielders we're signing, Bexley Dan?

    Hope it doesn't scupper your big opportunity.



    ;o)

    @Athletico Charlton

    I reckon that's about right.  Perhaps the striker will be young Ansah on loan.

  • Also says he undergoes a medical tomorrow so is not a done deal. 

    As others have said, not much seems known about the bloke but it does seem that the signings we are making are made with a view to playing the ball on the deck through midfield which is hugely encouraging in my book. My local rag down here claims Stephens was also wanted by Saints who "are likely to have to beat off competition from Everton, Leeds and Bolton to make him their own player ". Add Burnley to that list and he does seem to be a young player in demand..........or one with a very good agent.

    Also perhaps puts to bed the view that we are operating on a shoestring too if the figures are to be believed?

    Went to check out that link, Scoham and it's one of those daft old forums that doesn't show threads, so I gave up!

    We are very lucky to have a thoroughly modern message board -  some of those I have come across from other clubs really are crap.

    Welcome, Domo.

    Checked out that story.  If we have fended off champ clubs to get Stephens then it is a very good sign indeed of the persuasive power and weight that we now have at the club.

    Cheers Bigstemarra! Can't be a bad signing if loads of Championship clubs are after him, but like others, I don't really know much about the guy to be honest. A Southampton friend of mine seems to rate the guy, so fingers crossed he'll turn out decent. Am already starting to buzz about the new season, our side is really starting to take shape, especially if Green signs too!
  • Green , Stephens, Jacko, are all penalty takers, who would get the job ?
