Injury prone. Let's face it if you're playing for Salisbury as centre half you'd love to get a knee high tackle on him.

If he stays fit I'm sure he'll do a job.

If he stays fit! BIG question isn’t it? He’s had a career blighted by injury but IF he can stay fit he should be an asset not only on the pitch but also in the dressing room his experience could be priceless. (the influence he could have on youngsters like Hemings could be immense) but a 3 year contract… unheard of at this level unless it’s combining a coaching position.
I might even consider going for a pre season twerk and jerk to watch the Colchester game now.

Hemmings? The 34 year old youngster

I’m not convinced. Never delivered for England and he looked out of his depth when he signed for Liverpool and for West Ham afterwards.

He had a good record at Bordeaux this season scoring more than a goal every 2 games. We shall see how he gets on at this level. Either way will bring in some punters from West Ham, especially if they have a bad season

He'll score a bucket load. He's playing against NLS defenders. We give him the right service, he'll get loads.

This is a great night to be a Dagger!!!

Let's be positive, embrace the change, and see where it takes us.

We've gone from Serry to this. It's fantastic for the club. We have lift off!

Actually always did okay for England when he got the chance but never really fitted in the system as out and out No.9. Scored a great bullet header against France in the Euros. Let's be honest this is the nearest thing well get to a marquee signing so let's embrace it!

Right service is key... Desperately need a midfield with more attacking intent than last season... The amount of backwards and sideways passes out of the back three and central midfielders last year I'm not sure how many goals he would have scored for us had he been here.

With Hemmings hopefully alongside after a 30 goal season a strong and creative midfield is key now

My comment was very much tongue in cheek!

Not long after finishing a 12 hour night shift, have I missed anything?

Wow, a lot can happen overnight, new ownership and star striker who nobody saw coming.
It certainly shows an intent to get out of this division as quickly as possible.
Let’s just go along with the ride and see where it takes us!

I’m usually negative about our club. But this is incredible.

We’re gonna win this tinpot league
