CoopsLaud 4,186 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Decent signing imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozblue 4,331 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Whether you agree with his signing or not because of his off-field past history, the fact is that he's here and is desperate to win the fans over. he is straight into training in Spain and knows what's ahead of him on and off the park. It was a disgraceful thing he did, but nothing can change it now, so I believe in giving people a second chance in life in some instances; I hope he takes this one.

KeyserSoze 14,683 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Never really heard much about him tbh. Did some reading and it feels like he needs a break to get his mojo back. If the Gaffer sees something that’s good enough for me is he a LB or RB. Can’t seem to see what’s his position? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Hilts 12,819 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 It's hard to look past what he did but there are plenty people who know him, including his girlfriend, who are adamant it was out of character for him, and I suppose he has the chance to prove that. I'd rather it wasn't us giving him that chance but it is what it is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Giving him just a 2 year deal at least shows that Stevie is hedging his bets that he can find the form of the past. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made a mistake in life. So what? The way people are going on you'd think we were signing Oscar Pistorius. Don't remember this many people being up in arms when we signed Joey Barton who literally served jail time for assault. I think well see quickly how this is gonna workout. Gave him a long enough contract that if he finds his top level in 3/4 months we will extend. If hes hampered by injuries he'll be punted after a year imo Relatively low risk so imo win win Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hypocrisy that they also appear to want a person who has apologised and accepted guilt whilst being punished and rehabilitated to continue being punished.. He's proven himself once to be international level which I think is pretty noticeable in a footballer. His best years could well be ahead of him, especially if he knuckles down (no pun). The day we accept morality lessons of the press or filth is the day hell freezes over for me. I'll give him a chance, and watch in shame as other bears act in the same manner as the scum do to one of our players. That’s fine, but what about sponsors, social media, endorsements, female fans etc etc. Bottom line is it’s unneeded bad publicity. And beyond that he’s played circa 50 games in 8 years. And Im sure someone said he was the most dribbled past full back in the PL per game (or something like that). Awful piece of business IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

plumbGER 24,518 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Too many people care what the rabid press will say about this. All i care about is whether he will be a good player for us and i'm not convinced he can find the level that had Cafu saying he could be one of the best full backs in the world.
