Though it was a done deal?

Paper talk mate, next week apparently, till its confirmed by the club, we'll see.

[adam2102 577]

The problem with what I've seen in Youtube videos is this...

Almost all the chances come from attackers showing little pieces of skill (dummies, swivels, great first touch etc).  Toral shows good passing ability to get the ball to the attackers, but after that the onus is all on the attackers themselves.  This guy won't suddenly get us goals and making chances with the front three we currently have. 

He is better than Halliday/Holt so yes he is a good signing. However without a rejuvenated front three he will have little impact.

Oh yes he is.

Maybe only a handful of starts (and a goal scored in the cup) but he has participated in La Liga.

Over 70 games in the Championship and was voted both players and fans player of the year while at Birmingham. 

Being Birminghams' player of the year is like being the most beautiful girl in Airdrie.

 

Also didn't we sign another midfielder who was player of the season for his club last year.

Hope he does well but won't get too excited until I can see what he does here

Now for a proper CDM..

Preferably one who isn't afraid to put himself about when we go the the Knew camp, pittodrie, tynecastle etc..

Diagouraga on loan would be a good signing

Noticed that myself , the guy played some fantastic balls through for the strike who couldn't finish them most of the time . Probably an issue that will arise here aswell . He looks like a younger and quicker version of what we had in krancjar . If we bring him in , a defensive midfielder and a proven goal scorer I will be happy.

I'm not so sure. He looked slower than Kirk Broadfoot when I watched him and he couldn't find his own man with a pass. One game right enough and I've seen Messi do fuck all at Ibrox in a one off game. 

I'm unconvinced

He always makes me think of the wee fat steward who walks round and round the park at home games.

We don't have the money for quality signings.

And why is that given how the current regime came to power

Wee Danny devito 

[Jamie0202 12,365]

Is this a definite done deal? OP says he's clinched the deal and Arsenal have agreed but it also says he can play against Real Madrid at the weekend for Grenada so has he actually put pen to paper? Or do loan deals not require that? Surely someone has to sign something, either him or someone from his parents club Arsenal.

Just find it strange he can play on Saturday if this is a done deal.

Aye him he's always good for a wee bit banter on the way round. he should be built like an olympian the amount of times he laps the park.

I'm not one of the guys who makes fun of him for his jargon, it annoys me that a Rangers manager is constantly being ripped on a Rangers forum by Rangers fans. All I was saying is that he has brought it on himself a little with terms like "pitch geography". 

It wasn't a dig at MW it was a throw away comment after flippineck used 6,7,8,9,10,11 which is something MW also does instead of naming the positions. 

End of the day if he puts a winning team on the park he can say what he likes. At the minute he's not which is our problem, not his use of language.

Always feel sorry for him the day of a big card display  pelted all the way round from the sandy jardine , broomloan and Copland fronts

Just in. Has it been confirmed yet?

As I understand it he goes back to Arsenal after this weekend, but then heads straight for us. But if he's not required this weekend it'll happen earlier

I once saw a couple of vids showing a couple of screamers that Joey Garner scored.

That's plenty.

[WGOH 2,344]

So he's no actually signed?

No worries mate. "Pitch geography" is fast becoming the new "Kenny Miller's neighbour" for worst, most repeated joke on here.

These two things equate to one another? We have an intelligent manager/coach, who has concepts about how the game should be played. Does "pitch geography" actually mean anything? I think it does, so perhaps the manager should be given a lot more respect when he speaks about these concepts and his ideas about the game.
