    I cant shake the feeling he will sign. No real evidence for that. I just think he loved his time here, he would know he is coming somewhere the coaches and players love him, and the fans. He seems a really mature lad to me when interviewed and might realise he can sign here and know if we dont move forward he can move on and still have years at a higher level. Sign for us and he is 1st choice. Sign for championship club and maybe he is a squad player to start with.

    The thing that worries me most about Sanderson is the “Borini” factor. Borini on loan was 3 times the player he was when signed permanently. Dint get me wrong, he had his moments (screamer v the mags for instance beautifully set up by a “lay off” from Altidore!) but he didn’t look as good a player when he moved permanently to us.

    As my glass is half full though, he’s going to sign and be the next Bobby Moore…

    With the prospect of signing young, quality players like Sanderson, and the pitch going to be to class, I'm really hopeful that we are going to have an exciting season.

    I watched these the other day so that's part of the reason I'm in a good mood.

    98/99 season review


    3-0 v the mags. Borini, Johnson, Colback

    Borini thought if he did well he had a chance at Liverpool and when he didn't he was another who thought he was too good for is but couldn't turn down the money offered but he didn't put in the same desire and effort he did on loan.

    Reality is he wasn't very good but made up had a bit of fight he about him with that he was good enough for a battling relegation side without it he wasn't premier league level imo.

    Watching that mags highlights, you forget just how good a footballer that ****ing stupid **** Johnson was! Wonder what might have been if he hadn’t taken to touching up little girls

    I agree with where your coming from but I honestly believe when borini was on loan he was putting himself in the shop window, but when he signed it was because no one else really wanted him, Sanderson however if he signs I believe will be signing for all the right reasons

    Hope so. We may see things start to leak just before signings. Hopefully those linked (Sanderson apart) are just paper talk and we see some really ambitious signings soon.

    I remember we did the same with Stewart. Not long after the first bid was turned down we managed to get the deal done with our second offer. As they say if your first bid Is accepted you've obviously bid too much

    I suspect that with the way modern football seems to work it means that we have agreed a deal with Sanderson.

    If there is "no chance" how can you hope that you are wrong?

    I’m 100 times more confident of Sanderson join now that we are seeing stories about bids being rejected. Means we have decided we want to buy him and are ready to buy him.

    If we are putting bids in I am assuming that we have had indications from the player that he is interested. Players are sounded out these days anyway, but one that spent a season on loan and is probably in the contact list of most people at the club surely has been sounded out.
