CONFIRMED Auston Trusty

[John Cutsbushes]

Alright, stop showing off!!

Has the Prince told him to say that?

 

[mattbianco1]

We signed Egan when he was 25

Damn you coming in with facts!

We signed Paul McGrath when he was 37. Granted, he only played about 15 games, but still makes it in to many United fans best-XI

Need to get over the fixation with resale value. Before you know it your players are into the final years of their deals and you're selling for a cut-price to avoid losing them on a free.

 

[BigBed]

They are very very close!?

 

[BadgersBigToe]

Yeah, I hope he continues to be called a youngster because I'm also 25 and I don't want to feel old yet!

I got called young un in a pub the other day….I’m 65

 

[Melbourne Blade]

Sound promising. Looking forward to seeing him intercept the opposition offence before our end zone.

Yep. If you sign a 27 year old for decent money and they give you 4 good years, they've probably saved you money even if they leave for a small fee or nothing

And given that we insist on giving everyone away for nothing, forgetting about resale value altogether and focusing on service might be the way to go

 

[YES Blade]

According to sky sports he's due to travel to Sheffield for his medical 'in the coming days'. I get this is probably just the wording they've chosen but sounds like he's coming on bloody horse and cart. If they've agreed a fee why can't he come today and get it done now?

We’re filming the announcement video as we speak. Need to get the important stuff done before sorting the boring crap like his medical, personal terms etc.

But like Illy a couple of weeks ago by the sound of it

Heard they've drafted in former player Billy Sharp to narrate it and paid Toddla T to do a rap.

 

[Keen Blade]

If we go down we should keep 2 of our back 3 (Egan and Trusty) which is a positive - as long as Trusty is a permanent. Will only need to replace Anel then

Anel has a contract with us , oh , wait a minute …

Maybe you’re suffering from early dementia and wandered into a BYOB event at an old folks home by mistake ?
Or are you Benjamin Button ?

The zone around my end causes no offense , thank you

I am young looking (I’m told) and only 5’7”……..guess the shorts and cap help as well

Can't be a bad thing to have trusty yank in yer tank.

Bet you get asked for ID in the offie.
In the States I get asked for ID when buying my IPAs in the shops and I look all of my 65 years - they look blank when I start laughing , then I produce my UK driving licence and I’m lucky if they don’t call security - strange country , can buy guns & cannabis all over but not a can of ale if you’re thirsty.
Anyway , home soon for the new season

 

[wadblade]

I'm not sure if I'm in a minority but I do think Robbo will be useful next season. Something about a player that's just happy to clatter a winger to bits in a fair challenge gets me going. I think with an (potentially this) addition to that spot, I'm pretty OK with our backline.

If it comes off I think robbo may end up as our LB this season

I spent too much time in US before I retired and got asked for ID several times......crazy innit.

Stefan Scougall?

 

[Bookers Mullet]

If he does then that 150/1 bet to beat derbys record is well worth a punt. Adequate lcb, nowhere near being a good lb, he'd get torn a new one week in week out

but do we have better?

 

[CaptainMorgans]

Birmingham fans are very glowing in their views of him (see responses to tweet).

Hope we pull this one off on a permanent.

 

[Bookers Mullet]

but do we have better?

We do, but not by much. Osborn I feel is marginally better.

Hes played most of his career at left back

 

[Bookers Mullet]

Maybe he could play if we go to a 4, with traditional full backs, but as a wing back I just don't think he has the attributes, love him as a player but only as LCB in our current formation

 

[jt64]

USMNT fans I've spoken to think he's decent enough, can't say I've seen him play personally but would fill a need at a sensible price so I'd say go with it

 

[Aquifer007]

Hoping we buy and not use up a loan, 2 caps this year for USA too!

5m a bit pricey as they only paid just over a million feel better 3.5m maybe!

 

[Brian Deane]

Done deal on a permanent basis,providing he passes the medical.
