    I remember saying that about him when he first came. It's hard to pin down but he does come across as someone who has the ability draw you in to his world view of everything. I just love the guy and I'm excited about the team he's building. I bet the board are too!!

    I think what he meant was if they can't see what a fantastic opportunity it was for them he wasn't going to try and strong arm them into joining. If they can't see it they aren't worth his effort.

    I knew nothing about him before about a week ago, but I'm pretty excited to see what he can do now I've looked into him a bit more. He obviously has belief in his own ability, judging by his willingness to play for less money at MK Dons to get game time, but getting the release clause put in his contract. He clearly was pretty confident he'd get a good move off the back of it when people could see what he had to offer, which shows he is looking long term at his career and will almost certainly be looking to improve himself as a player. It all bodes pretty well for us and him.

    What was Kyogos? Was there even a link can just mind waking up and he had signed according to a Japanese source or his ex club then we announced it a hour later or something. Can’t mind any links at all lol.

    Looks to be a really good signing. Gives us cover for Rogic and will likely replace him over time. By all accounts he is highly thought of by fans and players alike.

    Really good numbers too if you like xG comparisons etc. Good age, good height and good pedigree. What's not to like.

    Early days of course, but the signings made this window all appear to be A) Ange's signings (with the possible exception of Johnny Kenny) and B) outstanding quality. I bet the big * is a wizz on Football Manager.

    Some left peg, those pin point long range passes sort of remind me of McGinn.

    Think he’ll be a great addition, well done Ange!
