Brandy. Hate a very strong word but boys who come for big bucks, don’t give a tinkers , foul a bit maybe , disrupt a dressing room perhaps. and show to the fans that money was all they wanted is what I always hated. Now Managers who sign them WELL NOWADAYS it appears that managers with their huge staff of eg free. And corner kick coaches time specialists throw in coaches Half time 5 sec warm up,men lol😂 also in Premier have men to provide detailed info on the “character” of possible signings . So a wee bye ball here to managers because there is little he can do if a bloke signs for the money and doesn’t give a tinkers about his performances then. Higgs has signed a few crackers. But even Jim Mc Laughlin Shields etc got their fingers burned and contracts shortened because of mercanaries

This Hoban transfer is taking its time. He's already missed a week of pre season if he does join.
