Florian Tardieu on his way. Midfield player 22 years old. Never herd of the guy. Could do better Mr Gray.

Had you heard of Christiano Ronaldo before United signed him? Give the lad a chance!

Who says he can do better? The takeover hasn't yet happened so SG will be working with a very tight budget.
Had you heard of Patrick Vierra before he signed for Arsenal?

You have never heard of him but SG could do better. Tell me how you can make that judgement, do you have a crystal ball or can you see into the future, if you have either what are this weeks winning lottery numbers. I remember a few years ago player coming on trial that nobody had ever heard of but the trial was cancelled, tricky Trev wanted to see him play. Eric Cantona took the huff and went to Leeds. Could this guy be the next Cantona.

He's young and played a full season albeit in the French top flight in a struggling team and has obviously impressed SG so why not give him a go? Oh an I'd heard about CR and Vieira before ;)

Make you right Deswaddle, if this deal falls through then that will be egg on Milans face. How would he live that one up in front of the fans?? Looks like he is putting he's reputation on the line for this takeover.

Brandao And Keith Andrews to sign by close of business today, Roger Johnson will hopefully make the Slovenia trip.
For those already writing Brandoa off, give him a chance, 30 Champions League and Europa league goals to his name, a 1 in 3 Striker, and plays very well with his back to goal.

I actually think these players are back stops if we do not get main targets.
Florian Tardieu midfielder with Istres France I undestand is closest to putting name on dotted line.

Brandao topic is hot with the comments of past his sell by date. Tricky Trevor, Viv Anderson as I recall we supposed to be past their sell by date when we signed them how wrong were those people me included

Andy the fans you talk about are concerned about his age because this is a very physical league, and the players you mentioned were used to it, he would too long time to adjust, I for one think he is too old. Trouble is Wed fans want to see signings and some are desperate to have anybody. I'm not I wanted to see quality new signings. As for this new owner as they say they is no smoke without fire, I worry

Everybody should calm down and stop making judgements on players that are linked to the Owls. Until the players are signed there is no point saying that this player is too old, not good enough or we can't afford him. Secondly I keep reading on here that it will only be freebies and by implication poor quality players that are signed again. Unless some of the posters on here are tapping the phones in the offices at Hillsborough nobody except those in authority at Hillsborough knows what the player budget is and nobody at Hillsborough is going to give out that information because that could put on a couple of noughts on to any transfer target. Thirdly as many people have said on here in the past there is no such thing as freebie players when agents fee, signing on fee and players wages are included. Finally we have signed three, what some people call "freebies" players in the close season in Hutchinson, Loovans and Westwood and they are quality players. They were all wanted by other Championship clubs and and we must have matched the wages if not bettered the other clubs offer. If SG can sign another three or four players of the same caliber I for one will be very happy. SG knows what he is doing and who he wants.

Yeh but then you turned your nose up at signing the 24 year old Dutch striker. Make your mind up!
