CONFIRMED Michael Verrips

[NuddysGloves]

He’s a free agent that’s joined them on their preseason tour. They said when he joined that he wouldn’t be signing – he’s just filling a role in their preseason.

Fair one, I used to know a guy who was mates with him. Apparently after we beat PNE in the play off semi finals Blackwell told him he was going to sign him if we went up.

He’s always been one, bit like Shipperley, that I’ve always thought we’d sign at some point. May be the last chance...

Any news anywhere on whats happening with this guy? All seems to have gone quiet have we lost interest?

Was thinking the same.

I assume a 3rd keeper will come in as we are 1 suspension and 1 injury away from an 18 year old between the sticks and poor old jags having to be cover.

Last I heard there was some legal issues regarding signing him on a free and we was seeking advice on what to do about it. All gone quiet since

 

[GrayBlade]

Is this him up at Sandygate tonight?

 

[BladeTillIDie]

Why we obsesssing over Verrips when its obviously a complicated deal? Surely other keepers out there like Vorm etc.

Maybe we think he's better than Vorm?

 

[Booker4]

Guessing we don't want to pay big wages to a known keeper like Vorm to be second or third choice whereas this lad is younger but presumably has more potential.

 

[BlairBlade]

Hadn’t Wilder said that they are in discussions with Mechelen with a view to sorting this out and smoothing the way to get him signed.
Something like that in the Star’s countdown on Deadline Day anyway.

 

[BlairBlade]

Hadn’t or hasn’t still in the past.

 

[Bladesman]

Confirmed:

 

[Bladey]

Done deal, great backup!

 

[blademark]

Does that mean no Besic? If we only had 1 deal sheet in before 5pm, was this it?

 

[YES Blade]

4 year contract! Wilder must see him as a potential number 1 when Handerson returns to Man U.

 

[gavtheblade]

Whoopie do.

 

[BushBlade]

I think I’ve just seen Besic is done but it went off the screen as I looked up from my phone

 

[robbiez666]

interesting. Know nothing about him.

Michael Longfingers. Welcome.

 

[boss hog]

Welcome to the lad ,don't know owt about him of course but let's hope he's a good un.

 

[The Bladesman]

Heard Verrips has been wanting to join us for a bit now.

 

[RMBlade]

Does that mean no Besic? If we only had 1 deal sheet in before 5pm, was this it?

No this was a free transfer. Verrips terminated his contract because the owners of Mechelen were found guilty of match fixing. Apparently this is a breach of a players contract.

Michael Longfingers. Welcome.

Send em back to where they came from. Coming over here, improving the quality of our side when there's more expensive and inferior English options. It's a disgrace.

Wilder’s just been interviewed and he’s talking like we’ve signed Besic. Although he can hardly speak he’s so hoarse

 

[Living In a Fantasy World]

I didn't see this signing coming. Guess he will be our back up this season with him taking the number 1 spot next.

Great, thanks for that.
