I’m sure we’ve done our homework on this signing
I think the difference is now we have a recruitment team who are clearly doing in depth research. Doesn't mean every signing will work out but they should have more chance.
We’ve gone full football manager mode this preseason with the signings
Did they do that with Meyler?
Did they do that with Bright?
Hadji and Chippo?
Meyler issue was fitness, not ability.What has that to do with anything? He’s a loan player from a premier league club.
People can get oddly excited with any player we sign. Meyler was dross and anyone could see that
Name the last decent player we signed from an overseas club
Yep. Forgot about them.The last two I’d say were Gunnarson and Misfud

Please stop this. Now.Game of thrones

And singing that song in Birmingham 'pass the Dutchie on the left hand side ' will go down well with the locals, the song was sang by the Birmingham group Musical Youth .After it didn’t work with Elery Cairo, can we give the ‘pass to the Dutchy on the left hand side’ another go?
These sort of players being.....? How many Dutch premier league players have we signed previously then ?Ah they got relegated from that league - he started 10 games. I’m sceptical given our shocking record with these sort of players
We've got to win the group stage first.We are going to win the World Cup I reckon

A pleasure to watch.Hadji and Chippo?
We could probably dredge up some sceptical comments about Bright when he first joined. So it wasn’t immediately obvious he’d be a good player for us.
How many players have we signed from abroad since Gunnar and Mifsud?
Malaga, Slager and Manset (he was at Reading and Carlisle before us)? How many appearances had these players made in a decent league?
Comparatively, Jobello and Kastaneer have played international age group football, have played the majority of their career in Ligue 2 and Eredivisie.
Off the bat, comparing these kinds of players you see the current signings have good pedigree. As opposed to the past policy of taking a punt on a cheap oversees player.
Let me stress that this doesn’t guarantee they’ll be good for us as they may struggle to adapt. But, there’s cause for optimism.
Did they do that with Meyler?
I guess you’d have been thrilled many years ago if you’d been at a club that signed a premier league superstar by the name of Paul Telfer
Probably would be if I was a supporter of a 3rd division team.

You’ll be telling me Roy o Donovan should make a comeback soon
George boateng was good for usI can think of two off the top of my head - they were both shite
You’re just being silly now.
Why? He played 17 premier league games.
1 season and we signed him years after then. Using the most ridiculous examples is just counterproductive.
Scepticism is good, they are risks. Just as all signings are.
A quick check on google for Jobello and Kastaneer demonstrates why O’Donovan is a v poor example.
