sandman We don't fucking need him but at least we think we can sign him. His signing on fee will be large, he will not be on a pittance and that signing on fee with those wages will take up money that we could use to sign players we do need in January. Frankly he appears to be another name player "gift" that the owner wants to sign on the manager's behalf whether he's wanted by the coaching staff or not.
Sounds like the kind of judgement that should be made after he's signed and played a few games if you ask me.
