Been watching the introduction video for him, doesn't seem (or sound!) like he's 21, very mature for his age!

Now that would be a cracking photo!

He's grown to 6'8" since you last looked. He'll be 7'0"" by the time the season starts!
Mind you, strikers will be shooting between his legs, the gap will be as big as a 5 a side goal

You could get the same effect if he stood next to the two keepers in the REMF game last night! [emoji23]

The Albion have asked the PL for special dispensation to have TWO goalies on the pitch. Maty Ryan has been recalled to deal with those shots between Kjell’s legs.
Agree, TB made a good decision on that one.
See it as insurance for Sanchez….

Sanchez bids fair to become the next target of some Big Club™ who wants to add to their bench.
"We don't actually need him. And we won't actually use him. But we don't want you to have him -- and we have the money to get away with it. The likes of you having someone that good plays hob with the proper ordering of the universe."

I am also not sure about this one.
We have Sanchez, who let’s face it is protected by a decentish defence in front of him, yet we go out and spend money on cover! We have lots of goalies. Why bring in another one?
Very curious signing IMHO.

Not in this window, but maybe in 12 months, or maybe never and we loan him out for a while and sell him for a profit. Think big!

I am old school. I have no truck with this , buy to loan and sell bollocks. I know it is because football is a business and the players are commodities,( I also have no truck with this kissing the badge shite either) contracts are nothing more than compensation level agreements.
I am also ****ed off that we will not get to see a terrific young starlet at the beginning of his international career.
But yes, buy anyone so we can sell them at a profit.
That is why IMHO a modern football is shite
If we buy someone I want them to play

5 million down the drain. Warned you
I've no idea what's going on with Scherpen but this is a good bounce!
