Bold bit is the key for me. No point bringing in someone "fit" when they're as useful as a chocolate teapot on the pitch.

Unless less it's 'iced tea'

Yes but ok, I can see why he's always injured, fair play Thomas lad.

He's a quality squad player.

Not your conventional striker signing ill admit.

He's appalling these days unfortunately. Roma fans genuinely have inside jokes about it to the extent that he's their Alcaraz...

Good it isn't happening.

Why's that an issue? A view to buy is standard for a loan now - Roma had the same thing. If he's crap/constantly injured, we just pass up the option.

Have a look at our defense and tell me with a straight face that we should be offering a contract to an, at the time the contract will be offered, a 32-years-and-11-months notoriously injury prone centre back. I just tried it in the mirror and couldn't finish the sentence without either breaking into laughter or tears.

I've been scouting Polly for quite some time. She likes to play with her back to the defender

I guess it depends on if he's absolutely amazing in the year before that happens and is completely injury free. In that case, a one or two year deal, sure, why not?

But right now, it'll be a basically risk free loan for a year for buttons, and if he's crap we'll say thanks but no thanks and be done with it. I have no clue why the option to buy is something to be aggrieved about.

I don't think we'll play 5 at the back (and it is 5 not 3) all that often tbh. Ok, away at the likes of City and Chelsea yes, but RK admitted it was a mistake against Stoke. Think we'll play a 4 most weeks.
