Jesus Christ! We are signing a player from the French 2nd division, that's another Kid and sounds like an ingredient from a Pro biotic yoghurt.

We're doom I tell you doomed!

Thats the spirit!

Precisely give the guy a chance, he's the type of player we need. He's a French under 21 international and was wanted by some decent sides.

Ideally what we need is someone who can play in the middle, pass a ball ten yards or so with regularity, and kick people without getting spotted doing it.

To be fair to the kid, he was linked with Fulham and QPR last month so I doubt he'll be any worse than what we currently have.

It's not quite the same, he was older and a lot cheaper.

Pat Murphy said we've paid £2m for Sylla, who's a six-foot, very physical DCM, and that there's at least one other "iron in the fire." Let's hope so, but it's good news at last!

Thinking of the 'Bent to Stoke' talk, I would hope that in the event that the deal brings one of theirs to VP it's N'Zonzi we're asking for and not Charlie effing Adam!

I'd prefer N'Zonzi, and I think Adam flatters to deceive.

But I can't see them letting N'Zonzi go.  He's more their kind of player.  And Adam -even if he goes missing on occasion- would represent an upgrade on our current options. 

TBH, I think it's unlikely any players on those kind of wages will be coming in though.  I think it will be one or two more like the lad from France. Namely, players on wages we could still sustain if we drop down a division.

That'll do if he's half the player that'll do.

That is the best post on this thread. In a complete nutshell.

My wife just looked at my computer and asked who Marlon is playing for in that shirt.
