Who was it we announced on the OS as a signing in the late Doug Ellis years, only for the transfer to then not happen?
David Unsworth?

That did actually happen, just not for very long!

Just remembered, it was Craig Bellamy from Newcastle.

I'd completely forgotten about that. The main Craig Bellamy thing I remember from that sort of era was when he was linked with the other lot and he was quoted as saying something like "I'm Craig Bellamy and Craig Bellamy doesn't sign for shit football clubs".
Apart from Norwich and Coventry.

I almost added them but as they're his hometown club I gave him a pass.

That's what made the comment so great, he'd played for loads of shite clubs yet the rags were beneath that, and this was in their 'golden era' under Bruce.

He was always a gobby little fucker. What was that celebration about in the Champions League when he swung an imaginary golf club after scoring a goal? At least clean-cut James Ward Prowse does it deservedly after another worldie free-kick.

He'd had one of his meltdowns at Liverpool, (John Arne Riise) and I think? threatened him with a golf club.

He looks huge, quick, strong, good in the air and can pass. He's played for a really good club in Spain and dome well in Europe. Part of a mean defence too. He looks a big upgrade to me, based on the limited information I have.

He will be an upgrade for sure but I hope it doesn't mean the end of Mings who adds more than just his position. That said, a brute like Carlos will add a bit more of something too.  I think we might see a few more penalties against us looking at some of the clips I've seen on you tube.

Still subject to personal terms. Handchopping Beheading Homophobe Misogynist United could hijack it yet. Born in Birmingham.

Not being hijacked. Any chance of that and the club wouldn't have announced it. Sevilla announced it too.

You can relax.

I never relax. When we were 3 - 1 up at Anfield, they were down to ten men because our current manager had tried to break the leg of our current under 23 coach, seven minutes of injury time announced, I turned to my sister and said (in all seriousness) 'we can get a draw out of this.' The woman in front of me turned and looked utterly bemused.

We were 5-1 up against Liverpool and then Salah scored, and I remember thinking similarly. Finally relaxed when the 7th went in.

Exactly my thought, he wouldn’t get away with some of those challenges in this country. Do like the look of him though.

Especially with our refereeing!

On a lot of those clips, the referee has given him the benefit of doubt.

I thought the same when I watched the Kamara video - a lot of the challenges from behind would be a free kick in the PL.
