And while I’m here can we just stop with the “Pato” nonsense? I’m happy for his friends and loved ones to call him that but as fans it should be Paterson - or doubtless Patterson to most. I can understand Oggy, Bigi, Lati, maybe even Fadz and Saka as shorthand for long or difficult to spell...

Fam are Cov fans but he told SwanseaTV he was a Liverpool fan. Not against him signing (and in previous seasons I was v much in favour) but the “massive childhood fan” stuff really annoys me - wouldn’t be a good reason to sign him (even if it was true).

Didn’t Joe Edwards sign him (initially on loan) for Millwall ?

All that is rational is telling me that we are done but 1) my hard bitten based on experience pessimism is braced for a MvE to Fulham shock 2) my nonetheless resilient optimism tells me that the lack of a SkyBlue Unseen means they will want to wrap up the Grimes signing, Swansea victory...

We all liked him - and wish him well. He scored 4 goals for us 1 vs Rotherham in a 5-0 win and 3 goals in added time (one bs Preston on debut and 2 vs Maidstone in the Cup). He scored one goal in 26 games (mostly as sub) for Rochdale. Suffered badly from injuries - even after coming on in...

They bid £6m on the week for him https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/clyn79295g7o.amp

His perspective may well be coloured by whether progress in the cup meant he qualified for a win bonus.

Surely he isn’t going to *want* to make his debut for us on Saturday against Swansea at their ground.

That’s when he was player-manager. We went half a season without winning that year btw.

I agree w the sentiment but McAllister happens to be a poor example for us. We spent £3.5m he was a marquee signing. But he left on a free after doing very little for us during his time here. His first season (96-97) was a disaster and we could not find a way of utilising his skill - the...

Shows how up themselves our new targets have become. Time was you could rely on Phil Masinga being spotted at KFC and Robert Earnshaw filling up his vehicle at the Tesco forecourt on the Arena.

That first clause is usually me, hardly ever notice players by name - sometimes come away thinking the Hull #45 seemed a bit of a show pony etc. however, one of the rare exceptions for me has been Swansea. 1) until last season when he was finally anonymous, Jamie Paterson regularly turned it...

If one of the various pods doesn’t call their next ep “Grimes and misdemeanours” I’ll be very disappointed.

IIRC he changed agents after the January window.

For wolves?

1) He would have been an incredible signing 3 years ago to replace Kelly, or two years ago to replace Hamer. I hope it happens and he will be as good for us as he has been for Swansea. 2) Swansea aren’t going to sanction any move before Saturday.if it happens he might be available for the...

And Pato !

Where is _alan when we finally need him? Probably in an Aberdeen Angus Steakhouse but his knowledge of R8s and Bentleys btw the mean streets of Kenilworth and players’ rentals in Kersley (always assume the poster @KersleyDigs is a reference to this) would have been invaluable here.

If only because Hamer became obsessed with trying to score from a corner
