Not sure about this Biljow lad though. As good as he seems, that injury record is a concern. I think we coukd probably get away with McCarthy playing the odd game and it not completely feck up our survival chances. Hopefully the injuries were just freakish occurances. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont like the Frenchmuch anyway - ever since a Parisian waiter was haughty with me at a Paris boulevard cafe when I asked for butter with my croissant and he tried to explain to me that the croissant already had butter in it, which I knew , but he obviously considered me an ignorant English whatever back in 1985 so anyway I digress the less of them in the squad the better. This is my unbiased option of course. 😂. I don’t mind pommes frites. Nor a decent white ( or red) Burgundy.

There's no real reason to walk out on their salary, the club agreed to it after all. So they either get loaned out and get to play and their parent club offset the salary for a season or receive a contribution to reduce the outlay, or they get sold and the selling club has to help subsidise for a while 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Short(ish), powerful runner type of striker. Good that we're still being linked to forward options but he seems quite similar to Archer and would be nice to have an alternative that gives us something different. I guess we've got BBD to be a bit more physical and hold the ball up but he seems more comfortable on the left. This fella has apparently turned down Leeds and Forest when both in the premier league so not sure he'd be that interested in coming here either. Cheers for the link though.
