Do we?

Saka, Wright and EMC. Rudoni has played there but isn’t a winger. It took 2 injuries to necessitate a change in system because we didn’t have the personnel to play 4-2-3-1.

It was the same last season when MVE was a makeshift RW.

We are paying his wages regardless I'm sure , I think it's a perfectly valid concern that we are signing a player who has struggled every season with injury

4 months wages is a minuscule cost.

Lighten up, it’s good business. Can’t wait to see him score the winner in the playoff final.

Think it’s not a bad bit of business. I think we are missing the option of not being able to play 433 at the moment. We want to be able to change things up if it’s not going right or start with a 433 for winnable home games. Also just have the opposition guessing how we are gonna set up. 532 has been good for us but if we are playing that week in week out teams will soon work us out.

Also he does look really pacy which is a nice bonus.

Obviously injury record is a concern without doubt but if it’s loan with option to buy it’s not a bad deal as if he is a crock he can get sent back at end of the season.

Ok , many fans would see sheaf leave because he's out so often though
Click to expand...

True. I'm just providing context though. There's reasons why his injury record might not be the best.

I can't be bothered to look but I'd wager their injury list is consistently not great throughout the squad.

The guy moved to Germany for upwards of £11m. So he’s clearly talented. Low risk. Try before you buy.

Could be similar to the Jack Clarke move to Sunderland.

both early to mid 20’s at the time of the move, both had big money moves that didn’t work out after early promise

Utter madness to think the SPL has higher physical demands than The Championship tbh.

Who though Saddle? I count us as having 2x recognised wingers in the squad.

Worse pitches and a far lower standard of football = more physically demanding apparently.

No, Sheaf was the last one. If they are just talking about a loan player that we then ended up buying then its just last summer, Binks.

Important part:


Words of advice were given to those passengers. No criminal offences were committed and no-one was detained."

Regarding some reports of the incident, a Schalke spokesperson said: "FC Schalke 04 has been contacted by Rabbi Matondo's management about the incident.

"They informed us that Rabbi strongly denies all allegations and seeked (sic) legal advice to clear his name regarding the incident."

Keep him away from…planes…and it’s all gravy. Until he’s inevitably injured, and that’ll be everyone up in arms on here.

Don't worry, there's very little chance of us getting into Europe any time soon, so he won't be needing his passport down here.

He's not likely to be on a plane if he joins us for a while.
