Company for Brewster in the treatment room, regaling on their Champions League win.

Tom Lawrence and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Based on current rumours, it's going to be a great team for the 4 minutes of the season they are all fit at the same time

Tremendous recruitment from the medical team in order to justify their existence.

Looking forward to sightings of John Ebbrell and Darren Anderton soon.

In fact, sod it - bring back Bash and JOC as well.

McGoldrick was a serial crock when we signed him and he had a great Blades career.

Bit harsh to blame the recruitment team for unfounded internet rumours!

It's not unfounded rumours, I read it on here myself

He simply had a back problem from all the driving to Ipswich. Not a serial crock at all.

30 games last season.

More than RND, Davies and Brewster combined

1 assist last season in a pub league.
One.

That’s 1less assist than the World’s greatest midfielder Barry Bannan and the Ox scored 5 times as many goals.
Five.

Barry Bannan is your midfield measuring stick?

About the right size for measuring ?

With a ruler rather than stick.

If we were signing him after he'd sat on the bench at LFC for a year, this would probably get more love. At least he played games this season, unlike some we currently have on the books....

Having said that, feels odd to be bolstering the part of the squad where we actually have quality and a bit of depth.

Perhaps the club are hoping he can do a similar job to what Barkley did for Luton, following a season away from the PL.

Is this CW's rehabilitation project this year after the Rodwell and Morrison debacles (and wastes of money!)?

You'd have to question whether he's still got the appetite to turn up to Shirecliffe every morning, put a max shift in and then be up for Plymouth away on a Tues evening

That doesn't mean anything these days on twitter. You can build up a following like that easily by posting engagement bait all day long.

 

[mattbianco1]

Loads of Besiktas fans underneath the tweet saying to leave him alone as he's their best player etc.

Not sure if that's sarcasm or what

We do?

 

[Ron_Justice]

We do?

Relatively speaking.

 

[brownblade]

The guy was a top drawer player for Liverpool when the big injuries started. 40mill from Arsenal was it?

This would be a pretty bizarre move despite his big injury issues in recent years.

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

Surely this kind of signing we needed last season in the PL not now? (See Barkley, Townsend etc)
