Not getting 'the winger' in has definitely took the shine off some of these earlier transfers but Olsen was arguably the best keeper we were linked to, very happy with this.

Hopefully it's a good fit and we make it a perm, we can have our very own Tim Krul but I won't want to punch his punchable face.

Good signing. Experienced pro with prem experience.

Looks like Verrips and Wes are finished at BL now. May as well look to move one or both on in Jan.

 

[ElephantBlade]

If he turns out to be a bit of a wage thief, can we call him Robin Bastard?

Met a bloke in a pub in Elephant and Castle who went by the name Robin Bastard. Was a nice bloke tbh.

 

[Gavlar]

Great signing

 

[ancientblade]

yeah good addition but think we had smithies lined up if we failed to get olsen

... and presumably bring someone else in as backup? I agree that Verrips isn't going to want to be the number 2, but I can't see us getting rid of Foderingham and bringing Jake Eastwood back in as backup, or promoting Amissah from the U23s. Might be wrong though!

Yeah I reckon Verrips will want out in Jan and I suppose it's weather we want Wes as backup or not. If he doesn't fancy it then he could move on at the end of the season. Either way we could face next season needing 2 keepers.

 

[ForgeBlade]

Know nothing about this guy, but given until last night I was considering tweeting Paddy Kenny asking if he'd be willing to turn out for us again, this can only be an improvement...

Like a hairier version of…

 

[Flatcap]

He's from Sweden, he plays just behind John Egan. Norwood and Fleck are the reason, we've been slow in midfield for seasons. And it's Robin Olsen

 

[mattbianco1]

I'm guessing this is the first time ever that Roma and Sheffield United have done business together?

Have we ever even signed anybody from an Italian team before?

I think verrips will be moved on probably back to Belgium or Holland. Eastwood I think we’ll try and find a club for as well although he recently had an unsuccessful trial and Cambridge which doesn’t bode well. Eastwood and amissah are 20 now and out on loan in none league it’s looking like make or break time for them they need those loans to be successful and to start moving up the football league ladder.

Off the top of my head:
Arturo Lupoli on loan from Fiorentina
Goran Slavkovski on loan from Inter
Emanuele Gabrielle - I think signed from someone like Ternana
Frederico Meacci - joined under Colombotti but think he might have been a free agent

I'm guessing our new transfer man in Jordan has good Italian links given the almost transfers from Samp and Parma, as well as Olsen.

Sal Bibbo was a favour to the Camorra.

Is the Sweden v Spain game on TV tomorrow does anyone know?

 

[St Albans Blade]

Is it me or do all our signings have a hint of desperation and a paucity about them?

Inexperienced or in to their 30s every time!?! Rumours of an Algerian 35 year old. Swedish keeper who hasn't been in much club action since 2018.

Season-Long loans are another indicator of the already-doomed 'Project Bounce-Back'. Problem is much bigger than Slav, he'll do well to still be here in January, keeping us up may be a major achievement too if he's still here in May!

None of this is even plastering over the cracks nor looking to the future.

Currently everyday feels like the coach trip back from Cambridge United 1 Sheffield United 0 [5 May 1979]...
..."don't panic, we only need to beat Leicester by 5 goals at home to stay up!?!" We didn't.



"Doomed Mr Mainwaring, we're all doomed!"

 

[St Albans Blade]

It’s even more important as by then i’d expect stalwarts Didzy, Sharp, Bash and Enda all to have served their last seasons with us if we are kicking on at a higher level.

...or they'll be heroes again dragging us out of League 1 via finally winning the Play-Offs at Wembley!?!

Sky sports premier league

 

[WaveyDavey]

Spain 1-0 up after 4 minutes……. Get the Chuckle Brothers back in goal.

Did have much chance with that goal tbh...defence went awol.

Olsen joining us has inspired Abba to reform!
