Oh dear. Lets get Zidane aswell.

We'd have a job, he's retired from playing.

The OS is now reporting his imminent arrival. Will be a good addition. Welcome Robert.

If Zidane was 37 and coming in as a player coach at a time when we're facing an injury crisis, then yes please.

Not that he'd got in the side infront of Barry Bannan, of course.

I'm not 100% in favour of it, but I can see the logic and will back Gezza's judgement on this one.

As there is no transfer fee involved, there is minimal risk. If he can still do a job then you won't hear me complainning about him being 37....

Does this mean he can't play until February anyway due to the 25 man registration rules?

Didn't we only manage to register 23 players anyway?

I'm not 100% on these rules, can we register him to play before Feb then?

I think we can register free agents if we didn't fill all 25 places.

I presume we have done our homework after the confusion over the GH arrival and contract!

I hope he makes an impact (not on the turf), and is a valuable addition. I hope he doesn't swan around putting in minimal effort for his dough and getting selected on reputation and name only.

At least he can sharpen up Ashleys game in one respect.
