    Never heard of him. Not the keeper I felt would complete the team, and have to say I'm underwhelmed. Good potential perhaps, but then we only have him on a loan.

    Of course the fact I'm less than whelmed doesn't mean he won't be a cracking keeper for us.

    But he isn't a big enough name, or experienced enough, to justify dropping Zaluska.

    So for the time being it means no change.

    I don't see Cervi as backup in any way.. When lenny was in for David James he said he planned to put Cervi out on loan to get first team action elsewhere and I think that will still happen with these two fighting for the jersey..

    i think its a good deal, no fee to pay. so there's 9.5 mill left for a centre half and striker. its a win win!

    Was holding out for a ready made replacement, get the feeling that Lenny didn't/couldn't get what he wanted. So either putting in place a plan to "get buy" or have a plan to add in January...

    I think this could turn out to be a cracking deal. We could bring this guy in who has been highly recommended by Lambert who had him last season, and supposedly saved Norwich barrel loads of points, and see if he can win a place in the team. Lenny will see Lukasz and Forster battle it out in training and in matches to see who is ready for the step up to no 1 goalkeeper and if it is Forster then, hopefully, we can tie him down on a permenant basis, but that's for the future and it obviously depends on if he does the business for us.

    Hope to see this guy in goal at Fir Park next Sunday.
    Zaluska is a disaster waiting to happen.

    I thought the idea of gettin a new keeper would be an experienced one. The fact that this guy has signed a loan deal makes me think we'll get a pre-contract in January

    another CB is a must now imo.. with zal being * and this guy being a relative unkown we need to protect the goal a bit better.
    auld jim on ch67 got it spot on when he joked" i don't think johan is shoutin at zal for the mistake but at the defence for givin the ball to him.":56::56:

    our reserve goalkeepers will treble their wage here by working in glasgow as bouncers following games.

    hope he does well, am i the only one that thinks the aiden sale was to cover the cost of most of our signings and maybe knock off some debt?

    You probably arent the only one, but I think they are saving the best for last and working on a deal that will use up a lot of the money near the end of the window - Thats what I think, but its also what I hope is happening.

    A couple of cracking signings to excite fans. Although if we went into the season with the team we have now plus the keeper I wouldnt complain.

    Well if it was they have done a pretty good job of it. £10M for Aiden, £2M for Artur.Pay the £5M Debt off completely and become solvent again.That still leaves £7M for prudent signings, and if we get a really good run in the Europa, then we would rake in more money. Pity about Hinkel getting injured, but these things happen in football.Hopefully Hooper back in five weeks, so maybe we don't need to spend anymore. Even Joe Ledley can fill in at left back and Efrain Juarez at right back.

    no your not the one thining this, lennon got 12 players out most of them our top earners aswell so the wadge bill has been cut again

    and lennon is ment to be getting the mcgeady money? well 10 days left now so will wait and see but i think if we get this guy in then that will be it for this window, even tho i think we need a ST aswell

    mabe the board will say we need to keep 70% of the money from mcgeady and you can have a couple of mil in the jan window, i hope this is not the case, and if it is then i won't be a happy bunny

    but again 10 days left of the window so lets wait and see whats gona happen

    Could be a good signing. Zaluska is not good enough

    im of the opposite opinion mate, i think in recent years we have been quite prudent in the Jan window ( Bellers , Keane ) so if they did save a few bob just now and did a bit of business along those lines come JAN i wouldn't be disappointed at all, if we go into the season as we are now, i am relatively happy TBH man for man we are better than our nearest challengers, you cant ask anymore than that. ( although i still hold judgment on our left back position obviously till the guy plays but even at that Ledley has done ok there when needed )
