I liked the Shaun the Sheep song someone made for him but I had a different version going round my head

he’s frank the tank, he’s frank the tank,
And if you piss him off he’ll put you in the stands,
Keep that in mind, Next time you try,
To take him on it’s Frank the tank

No pressure Frank, you've just got to single handedly stem the away day onslaught of the last 2 months and save the hopes and dreams of all the support thus rescuing them from the trauma and crushing disappointment that failure would bring , welcome aboard!

Stop Kitchen doing hari-kari runs out of defence and losing the ball will solve a lot of shite we do to give goals away

To be fair I think he does this after about 10 minutes of pointless passing around at the back due to lack of options.

No don't put it down to you not explaining yourself, he just has an agenda of knowing more than anyone else, and he really doesn't. He is a clever poster but not better.

I'm pleased we have got this one over the line.

He does sound like just the sort of player we need.

Looks a good signing but genuine question,he’ll be coming straight in for Eccles and asked to do the same job, box to box, def an upgrade but how’s it going to make us defend better, our full backs will still be getting caught out and our centre halves will still be nervous wrecks, putting a lot on him ? I mean how does he stop this ?

He is infinitely more athletic than Eccles and has outstanding ball winning stats.

Don’t recall us ever making a signing like this, an expensive loan of a player in their prime.

Maybe we’re going to put him at CB? No amount of tactics will stop a couple of CBs who have all the awareness of what’s around them as Stevie Wonder.

Yeah I think the problem in defence is just as much personnel as it is tactics.

That’s what I mean, could be a brilliant ball winning box to box absolute shithouse of a player, can’t polish a turd though, we all know where the problem is but we don’t seem to have done anything to fix it ? Hopefully a little tactical change away surely 3 5 2 would be perfect with him ?

Hes an experienced premier league player and got great experience at international level. Hes also an absolute unit.
You cant underestimate the effect someone like that has on the dressing room as well as out on the pitch.

The players that are struggling for confidence will now have a leader in the middle of the park. As much as I like Grimes, he isnt the chest thumping physical monster that we have been lacking.

I think weve made a couple mistakes recently at the back but largely i agree , when youre winning away why not manage the game better ? Why not stop the wingbacks getting so high , why not drop somebody next to grimes , tactics are a big part of our recent form

Double pivot of Onyeka / Grimes would certainly help when full backs high and we are caught on the counter.

Yes yes yes. Could be a big difference maker for us. Got to think he’s got plenty to offer this season, he’ll be sharp after AFCON but had few minutes before.

I think I’m into the fact he’s dropped down a level just to get game time / minutes. He didn’t have to do that and could have just rotted in the reserves at Brentford. I’m assuming he must have a decent character based on this.

I think as they were around each other, with Torp being a few years younger, will help them. they spent a couple of years in the same squad so should gel quickly.
