But the exact same thing he's saying about Russell that there is a player in there because he got Huddersfield into the play offs is the exact same thing many of our fans are clutching at staws with Styles about. Who has look just as much of a passenger as Russell this season for the majority.
Unlikely. Assuming he hasn't even started his medical, and looking at the "behind the scenes" video from Pines, it's certainly not a 2 minute job as itd been shown, and most likely if we do sign him, would be a deadline day announcement I'd have thought.
It was said on facebook it was started just before mid day. Perhaps they are also finalising the contract before saying owt.
Watch the Pines video, somebody was saying he was off to Birmingham...... but the truth was he was into his second day at BFC and been through various medicals.
Having listened to Undr the Cosh, medicals can be pretty gruelling, but equally if the manager wants you and knows you, it can be as simple as turning up and touching your toes.
Think it was Paddy Kenny who said Warnock had signed him for the 4th time and his medical was basically to touch his toes.
Don't think they'll all be as stringent as Pines have to go to both Leeds and Manchester.. Collins mentioned insurance..
Can't blame the current board being extra careful signing players injured after the cluster F#!% up by Conway n Co with the 2 Belgiums.
Sounds like deal all sorted. https://x.com/sportspeteo/status/1752642939321307372?s=46&t=trUrLWLsldTn2T7z_vrQBw
I know Styles is everyones favorite punching bag, but I can't have you saying he's been no better then Russell, sorry that's just not true, he's scored more goals and had more assists this season then Russell will get in his entire career. He's a better runner, tackler, passer, shooter, header, but apart from that, yeah same player.
I think Russell is everyone's favourite punch bag tbh. Or watters. Before that it was devante.. and styles has one more league one goal than Russell this season.
Not sure about this term ‘punch bag’. Seems to suggest the criticism isn’t justified. Most of the criticism I’ve seen of Russell and Watters has been due to their utterly woeful performances, and mostly justified.
