Welcome Saido! I am pretty confident that he'll be a great signing. Not worried about the fee. A player like him who is pacy, strong and delivers goals from the wing are few and far between.

Not convinced by that lean. Exactly what we've been crying out for, a quick wide player who'll contribute goals. Got a good feeling about this one.
What are you on about? Thought that was a understated but great lean.
The chants for Kenny Dalglish that were heard again on Wednesday do not necessarily mean that the fans see him as the saviour. This is not Newcastle, longing for the return of Kevin Keegan. Simply, Dalglish represents everything Hodgson is not and, in fairness, everything Hodgson could or would not hope to be.
