Always great watching the dramatic stuff. No idea if he does the simple things well. But seems that Jed is looking for some first team action so good to have a bit of experience backing up Emi.

Split from the main transfer thread, as it's clearly happening.

Welcome Robin. In the nicest way I hope you’re not required in the first team!

Our last two Swedish players did okay so he'll be fine (although hopefully only required as a back-up).

I was hoping he was the elusive midfielder destroyer we’ve been searching for. I’ve never been too good on players who play for a team other than ours.

Yes, yes he is.

I was there for his league debut away at Wigan. Absolute horror show.

Did he make his debut in the cup? Seem to remember a 'Kays catalogue' attempted save, where he went down in several installments to a routine save, and, well, didn't save it.

Kalinic is on-loan in Croatia earning more than the rest of the defenders and goalkeepers in their squad combined.

I'm suprised we're not in for Scott Carson. Gerrard must have played with him at England. Time to come home Scott. Get the band back together - you, Ash...just need Gabby to come off the Talksport mic and get fit again.

Yep, conceded 3 on his debut in the cup. Then 3 in the league debut away at Wigan, then 2 in the next game. 3 games, 8 goals. Terrible.

Get Curtis Davies off the Derby County sinking ship.
