CONFIMRED - Sandro Wieser

[Crux]

CM apparently.

Will probably be shit.

[PistolPete]

What about him?

[royalp-we]

Had a medical today. Signing tomorrow.

[Crux]

What about him?

He's signing

Went on loan to a couple of Swiss team last couple of seasons and neither wanted him.

[royalp-we]

I'm sure our fans will give him at least 3 or 4 games to make an impact.

[Crux]

Been unattached all summer. Our wonder star and arrogant Cnut Brian trevereneddenenden clearly sees something in him that the whole world of football clearly does not.

[Super Kevin Bremner!]

Best known for Switzerland's worst ever challenge, and we ain't talking tennis

[PistolPete]

I'm actually really annoyed about this. We were told youth were going to be given a chance and yet we're signing YET ANOTHER midfielder.

We need a left back, we need a right back. We need a centre back. We maybe need a centre forward. We don't need a oxf*rding central midfielder!!

George Evans
Joey van den Berg
Stephen Quinn (Who Stam hasn't seen yet)
Danny Williams
John Swift
+ a few decent young players...

6 into 3 doesn't go. Jaap, we're not in the champions oxf*rdng league!

When will managers realise that bloated squads are unhappy squads are underperforming squads.

I fear Williams will be off and Quinn is injured more than he's fit

Don't know how well he plays his position, but this guy is supposedly a defensive midfielder. None of the players you mentioned are defensive midfielders, with the possible exception of Joey, and with Tish gone I don't know any of the academy lads who could fill in there. As a young player struggling for game time for abroad I don't think he will demand much playing time and could prove to be a decent squad player, someone to give us another option.

We should be so lucky.

[Stranded]

He comes from Liechtenstein, so gets my vote.

Saw him play against Austria for them and was actually pretty good that night.

[Petercccccc]

Does anyone know if he's good? I'm non the wieser.

[Josef Fritzl]

Maybe going to try him as a CB if he is more of a defensive CM.

Joey Van Den Berg V2?

Foul on Yapi Yapo
FC Zurich launched legal proceedings against Wieser after the 21-year-old committed a knee-high challenge on Gilles Yapi-Yapo in a match on 9 November 2014, leaving the former Ivory Coast international's career in serious doubt.[5] Yapi-Yapo suffered torn anterior and cruciate ligaments, a torn meniscus, a torn kneecap tendon, serious cartilage damage and deep bruising to his thigh after the incident.[6] Wieser was shown a straight red card for the tackle, and was later suspended for six matches by the Swiss league.[7] With Yapi-Yapo highly unlikely to ever play again, club president Ancillo Canepa launched legal proceedings against Wieser.[8]

The end result is awful, but on this view wasn't intentional. Went for a bouncing ball was beaten to it. Follow through caused the damage.

According to TransferMarkt he can also play central defence- so maybe this signing will be instead of Liam Moore should that transfer fall through.

I'm afraid that was a lazy, cowardly tackle. Finished the guys career. At least he showed remorse.
At best he will have learned from that.
We don't want another Terry Hurlock in our team.

[Berry]

Could make a great song from his name, its a signing that has been blessed by our own Thai Lady Ga Ga.....All about getting the East Stand to get the atmosphere raised.....Very clever this Reading lot

[Crux]

Confirmed.
