True, we nearly all had high hopes for him. I noticed Campana (sorry about the accent thing) ended up very good. Don't think that was Freedman but can't remember. Interesting contrast. Of the two, you'd think the one that would have worked out is Meyer. I believe Meyer plays quite low down these days whereas Campana made a bit of a decent career for himself with a few international call ups later on. I guess all signings are a bit of an unknown - there's no one who's only signed good players. I think even Brighton have signed a couple of duffers. And Chelsea and Man U spring to mind.

Red and Blue Army!

Meyer is gradually rebuilding his career after a couple of years in the wilderness. Still only 28 he was Lucerne’s top scorer last year and the highest scoring midfielder in Switzerland. Roy did not want him so only played him occasionally and usually as a sub in a defensive left sided midfield role when the team was losing. Sounds familiar? Roy’s regular tactic to prove to SP and DF that a player hid did not approve of is c**p. He didn’t succeed with Sorloth but is trying it again with Mateta, Ahamada etc.

This was mentioned last week but has exploded today on an awful lot of click-bait sites. Sir JR/Ineos want Dougie to be head of recruitment at Utd & according to reports PDQ. Will Dougie jump ship again, how long is there on his contract? Thoughts? [Link]

Sorry, just seen there is another thread on this subject, that'll teach me not to look properly. Mods please delete or merge.

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

I think it would be a massive loss for the club, lets hope Glasner knows someone, because i fear it could be Mark Bright, disaster.

I'm not surprised that Dougie's work is again under the spotlight at Man U. He's done a brilliant job for us with the limited funds at his disposal.

We all know that money talks, but I for one hope he would prefer to be part of our re-structuring. Ollie has certainly said positive things about him in his first few weeks with us.

Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

I refuse to believe that there is any truth in this.

I still stand by the fact that apart from Franca, DF hasn't signed anyone that wasn't already pretty well know.
