Let's hope he's just training with us.

Like Samba was before we decided that he was perfect to be the only cover for a 36/37 year old who'd spent a large part of the previous season out injured.

I hope your right, but I just don't trust Bruce not to fill the squad with 'cheap' experience at the expense of our younger players, again.

The only thing to make this any worse would be if Dean Marney was played at right back?
Sounds awful. A poor man's Jay Spearing !

That will make Chris Jameson want to throw up.

Marney was not very good at his peak.  Hopefully SB is just being friendly and has no intention of signing him.

Absolutely.
Gawd help us.

Dean Fucking Marney. As if having many 30+ players wasn’t enough he’s giving a trial to get another one. Will this fucking manager never learn. We’re skint so instead of using what he has once again goes down the path of bringing in a has been or in this case never was. I pray this is just a favour and not anything more than that.

He isn't giving a trial at all. Even Gregg 'shit on the villa' Evans says the player is only keeping fit with us, so how about saving the abuse for something the manager's actually done?

Dave, initially Chris Samba was only “training” with us. If Bruce had no previous with this kind of stuff or signing old men I’d be perfectly relaxed. But I’m not because he’ll probably sell Jedinak and bring in this bloke.

When, and if, he signs then you can get as angry as you like. Until that time it's probably best not to get too excited.

Now that Terry's gone I think we might put in a Bid for Steve Bannon. Been there, done it, seen it all. Would prove an excellent example to the kids, having been at the top level.

He's extremely right-wing but also very professional.
