I'd have expected him to be stretching the shirt by now. Is it time to issue his agent a Bjørn ultimatum?

The delay in signing is down to the club just sorting out some acceptable accommodation for him in Bjornville.

I would like to think with Chester that we keep him so that he can get the medical/physio. treatment to get up to match fitness and then see where it goes from there. It's the least we owe him and shows loyalty.

I agree we should keep James Chester.

Of course we should keep Chester

Hope he follows the quote from Friedrich Engels, whenever he plays;

An ounce of action is worth a ton of theory.

This slightly explains above puns - though "j" is audible "bje" type of way.

We pronounce it sort of like this - beyorn.  I'm sure BE could come up with a better explanation.
