If so he was a tidy wee player and did play out wide. He did yes, he then proceeded to do the thing that I hate footballer players doing more than anything! He ran over to the family stand and did a wee fanny dance to the kids. I detest that. That was one of the first things I started to hate about Scott Brown, that and his weasel face. Yes weasel faced Scott Brown, how I laughed when Franco Miranda backslapped your weasel faced coupon you weasel faced, horrible, hateful and despicable little rat.

munoz Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 According to my sources (P&B) , it seems we're still looking at bringing Harry Davies back . I thought that deal was dead . Good news if he's fit and it's true . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure the standard in our league is much better than the National League ! All that said I hope we get Davis (assuming he gets fully fit - no point bumping Quinn to bring in another crock) as it gives us more cover at CB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melmac Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 All very well having the lure of Landan but you will also have the Landan prices property wise. If he stays in Engerlund, will he play in front of 40,000 like he did this year in the Scottish Cup? If he comes great, if he doesn't, ach well.

Not sure living in London on a wage the likes of which Harry will be getting is a bonus. Expensive place to live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be interesting to see their wage bill but we never will so all speculation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
