You'd better be quick, as I put £50 on us to win with Paddypower last week at 20/1!

We're now 5/1! :D :ayatollah:

I took the 18/1 option, outright and each way.

I'm sure it was 28/1 last week.

This is a very good signing. Been missing a hardman in midfield for a few seasons now and that is where we fail every year. OLI OLI OLI

Was that with Paddypower though, as we were 20/1 when I placed my bet?

They must have reduced the odds before I hit them harder then! :ayatollah:

Why didn't you take the 28/1 then?

Never mind, with my £50 at 20/1 and your £whatever at 18/1, we'll bankrupt them next May! (If we don't win the league by March that is)! :lol: :ayatollah:

Jonesy said he's interested in two or three more on the bbc sport site.

Naylor
Stead (?)
Harewood

I really hope we can get the Naylor deal done.

He comes across as a really genuine guy, I hope and pray he can make a difference to us this year. I would rather my son look up to this guy than some others we have!
