Welcome back, seemingly.  Hope he's as good for us as he was with Luton.  We need good quality set pieces and clever footballers with technical ability.

Let's hope this is one of those rare instances where the sequel is better than the original.

People deserve a second, third and fourth chance. 

What if they've robbed, killed or raped?

Tidy bit of business. It's a long hard slog and a body like him in there will certainly help us rotate and he sort of has unfinished business here too.

Until Fabrizio has spoken it's just idle speculation anyway .

An official announcement from Pravda is better.

He wouldn't be my first choice but ffp means we have to be realistic. He's still a decent player and an upgrade on players like Chambers and Zaniolo. If he does sign I won't be too ecstatic but mark my words he will at some point in the season score a vital goal or make a vital contribution. Overall it's a yes from me.

What shirt will he stretch if we haven't launched the new kit?

Started well for us but ended up shocking and I was glad to eee the back of him in the end

Seems to have had a bit of a redemption at Luton, but in his recent years he’s been rubbish far more often than he’s been any good so I’m not sure his spots have changed for the longer term

I don’t think he’s worth the risk but hey ho seems the people in a better position than me think he is
