Looks like the Titanic?

Likely, but let's hope our club doesn't plunge to new depths like the actual Titanic.

Good news to start the day!

Don’t really know anything about him, but this feels like smart succession planning - give him 12 months to bed in before Branthwaite inevitably leaves next summer while (hopefully) providing better back up than the Holgate/Keane axis of evil.

He's a big guy like! 6ft6..

Hopefully he can defend!

 

[TrixyStevens]

Perhaps at times it will be 3 at the back (Tarkowski, Branthwaite and O’ Brien) with wingbacks, McNeil covering left wingback on occasion.

 

[MikeH72]

Can’t wait til the announcement at 6pm.

 

[NeilMorepies]

Sounds like a CBeebies presenter.
I hope he has a proper haircut.

Hes a RCB, Branthwaite is a LCB.

Its good succession planning for Tarkowski, while removing Holgate & Keane.

Assuming Branthwaite stays maybe this will be the shove Keane and Holgate need to give up their fat contracts and seek a move, so they actually play.

Nah, they will both keep taking the money.

 

[Zatara]

Same deal we gave Branthwaite

4 year contract + 1 year extension option.

 

[Blue Smoke]

I imagine dyche was starting to get a nose bleed signing attacking players and needed to address the balance.

I hear his nickname in the locker room is Jake the Snake if you catch my drift

Because he has a big penis.

Because he has a big penis.

Can't believe you felt you had to explain that.

*looks around some of the forum members here

Yeah alright then.

 

[Victus]

Announce him already, stop asking him how massive we are.
