Kissing the badge of oxford is enough for me not to like this signing. He can rot in the reserves here for all i care

When a player kisses a badge, he's saying 'This is the organisation that pays my mortgage'. Nothing more. It's only fans that 'love' a club. |

Maybe it's Paolo's plan to loan him out to Ebbsfleet ?  |

Thats very true Reg, Pox aren't seen as a nurturing club bringing good players through, not like a lot of lower league sides that get good raw talent from non-league, youth and rejects from higher league sides and selling them on for big money, much as we have done recently with the likes of Henshall, Tozer, Morrisson etc etc.

But then....... Constable is an STFC fan as well. |

Would they not get a fee for Leven?
Well he was a free in the summer, and ended up at O*ford...can't be seen as that good on the circuit. |

I must admit I am genuinely surprised at how few people are utterly disgusted by the fact we've signed a scummer.
Have we actually signed him yet? Slightly irrelevant to your point, but an important detail nonetheless. |

I think he's actually a Yiddo. Don't think we need him, bit of a waste of money, and won't be much use in L1. But if he scores a fair few and secures us promotion, that'll be nice. |

He looked pretty lively against us - easy to get fired up for that kind of game, I know especially with everything that went on before but Constable at Paolos fitness standards might be a whole new beast...

Murray coming back on loan too.
Constable: I don't care he's yellow stained, if his goals get us up that is ALL that counts.

He is indeed a Spurs fan but has also attended games at Swindon, that is a fact. Even if he doesnt hit it off with us we have still slowed down a promotion contender much as Blackburn did with us with Duncan Shearer, I fucking love it. |

So thats Magera, Benson, Connell, Bodin, Murray and potentially Constable on our books. 6 strikers in total and that's not incuding Kerrouche. How many does Paolo want?

If PDC decides to bring anyone else in, surely the wage bill is getting a little out of hand? |
