The other seems again very us. Throwing money at an old bloke on a too big contract. Like an old comfy pair of slippers this club. Squads made up of youngsters don't do well. Even man united the "You win nothing with kids" squad of 1995 had Peter Schmeichel, Irwin, Palister, Bruce, Kean and Cole all on 40+ appearances that year. We have a very young squad adding the right experience will be good for us. |

A 3 year contract on the alleged money he’s on is madness and shows we’ve learnt fuck all. |

I assume the third year was added in so that we can reduce his weekly wage and spread the actual value of his contract over an extra year. |

I assume the third year was added in so that we can reduce his weekly wage and spread the actual value of his contract over an extra year. So the question is we will get three good years out if him? I'd say better than even chance of that Certainly 2 good years Looking at the squad re experience it's about right now so looking at adding quality now where we can Obviously left back and striker are the two key signings to make |

Didn't this happen with Johnson last year? People said he signed and it was delayed in being made official. I'm not saying this is the same as DJ but it does happen....I'm not sure why. Please draw no further parallels with Daniel Johnson. Yes...it hurt typing it... |

I mean he clearly hasn’t signed so it’s already bollocks. Him signing in a week or whatever proves absolutely fuck all. Didn't this happen with Johnson last year? People said he signed and it was delayed in being made official. I'm not saying this is the same as DJ but it does happen....I'm not sure why. Shame it was made official in the end he has been very under whelming for us! |

Yes, a hell of a lot. He is often one of the first if not the first to break news. And been absolutely bang on with us for a year now. Please provide examples He called Mmaee to us way before anyone else. Just go through his Twitter and you'll see he is very very reliable. Anyone on here will tell you he is good at what he does. |

He’s reliable because he reports what is already leaked/reported elsewhere. Did you choose to ignore what I just said? He has multiple times been the one to break stories, especially involving us. But also plenty other clubs. If you go through his Twitter you will see the proof there. It sounds like you just don't want to be proven wrong which is a you problem, nobody elses |

All journalists seem to be struggling so far and scraping the barrel. Even the ones who you would put your house on being correct.

Guessing this won’t happen now then? Is Outrageous to say we could get both and have Stevens as LCB and LB back up? Providing the financials make sense |

It would be so stoke, be barely had a left back last year and next year to have 2 + Steven’s and completely neglect signing a striker or something 😂. |

I just think he’ll replace Hoever as the more attacking full back and Junior will play on the right to balance it. |
