CONFIRMED Ivo Grbic signs for the Blades

[CPB]

Get the impression he's desperate to play.

I reckon if he had signed before now he might well have started vs Brighton in the cup.
Think it will be a bit late, and given he was yawning through the interview unwise perhaps to start him now.

Question will be, will he oust Wes? My gut instinct says yes, and possibly even for the Palace game.

 

[mattbianco1]

Lad from Plymouth. Name escapes me at present.

Simon Walton
We signed him on loan then sent him back because he got injured. Think he passed the medical.

EDIT. Yeah his wicki page says he got injury in pre-season

 

[ISZA ⚔️]

“i hopes to win every next game”

something tells me this cunts gonna be disappointed

 

[Bell4]

It'll come to me this afternoon. Midfielder.

But I seem to think it was someone called A Nelson ??

Perhaps wrong

Silent will know

Prefer a 5 foot 9 Alan Hodgkinson

 

[originaltrueblade]

They've got a lovely lad in the team who'll be willing to show you around!

Got him! Get the green tick ahhhht.

Is he having a line.

 

[Nah den]

If he gets to see the centre of the city as he’s requested he’ll be on his way back to Madrid on the next flight.

"I can't wait to see the city centre..."

 

[Snowflake]

Born and raised in Croatia, played for 4 years in Spain and France, but speaks excellent English.
Lets hope his keeping is just as good !

I no longer live in Sheffield, but regularly visit. There are parts of the city centre which are great, so don’t be to hard on where some of you live. This is a city that is talking about reintroducing beavers !!
He says he likes green spaces, so not too far to go to find them.

[SELondon_Bladette]

Comes across excited to play. Interested to see how he gets on, hopefully decent!

 

[Boxer Blade]

just need 4 or 5 more in and we’re in with a chance

I think four goalkeepers is enough Rod

 

[BigBed]

I like the way he speaks, got a touch of the Hannibal Lecter about it

Well, I suppose were used to having our hearts inour mouths evert time a cross comes in

 

[bornablade]

......Eastham

 

[The Bear]

Can't wait to hear how his name is going to get pronounced/spelled.

Someone will say garbage, so I'll get in first!

Graham Carey.

At least that's what one of the our management team told me at the time.

 

[The Bear]

I'm over there several times a year , mostly the dalmatia region .
Makarska , split, sibenik .
Serbs caused the war , it splr a union of countries ) ie - yugoslavia .
Croats hate Serbs as do
Bosnians
Slovenians
- Montenegro took the Serbs side .
Bosnians are a Muslim country , the rest strong catholics.
I'm there again in April, I can speak fairly fluent croat ., I can by . But rest assures Croats for a population of 4.5 million, roughly size of Wales can punch above their weight .

Stayed in Tribunj a few times. Great place. Breaks the myth that a nationalist country cant be friendly. Think the Croats are great.

 

[from Sheffield - Doo Dah]

I guess this means he was highly rated in August 2020 by Atletico Madrid. Not played many games since.

 

[Lightsoot]

Big lad, seems chuffed to be here, good pedigree. I excite.

 

[Greasy Chap Butty]

I don't like how he does that sucking in sound at the end of sentences.
Big mistake this signing.

Crosses were no problem to Hodgy maybe just before he retired. His anticipation and athleticism in reality it was as if he was seven foot tall. You’ll never see the likes of him again …wonderful keeper probably best we ever had and we’ve had some good uns

Who was George? Was he the camp pink Hippo from Rainbow? Would have preferred Zippy battling away in midfield instead, he had much more attitude. Luckily, the 66 boys didn't need George to win it and we would have had the annoying twat uttering 'ooooohhhh Geoffrey' every time Hurst scored a goal in the final.

Actually they were.
I clearly remember being at Oxford when John Hope made his debut and the Blades fans in the ground were so pleased that after years we had a keeper that could actually catch crosses before they got to headable height.
Hodgy was a great and reliable keeper in so many ways, but grabbing high balls in our box wasn't one of his strong points.

No, he wasn't
