He never said anything about it being a bad signing.
On a seperate note, I highly doubt the club would announce the signing of a player who didn't have a visa yet, considering the amount of visa problems players seem to be having lately.
This signing, behind a very good pack, gives us the potential to go very well this year. I am looking so much more forward to it now.

As I said earlier, it is a great signing on paper, but we shall see how it all pans out first before eating any humble pie....'"
You make the mistake of thinking the world, or at least the board, revolves around you, and are paranoid that every comment is aimed at you. It doesn't, and they're not.
There are several detractors who have made several, quite different, claims against the Bulls and one of those claims was that we are a 'selling club' and not any longer 'in the market' for decent players. Another is that we would not and could not make any 'marquee' signings and indeed that the club and/or the coach had lied about the possibility of doing so. Another is that we have little or no cover in the halves and no ability or intention of getting any. Another is that no 'decent' players would come anyway to play under a 'crap coach'. Another is that we have a 'weak squad' which is no better than mid-to-worse-table.
These represent a considerable humble pie requirement, indeed easily sufficient to qualify for a substantial bulk discount.
We don't have to see "how it pans out first" at all. Whether Bird does the business on the field if and when he gets here is a completely different issue. All the above have been comprehensively demolished by the Bulls' signings so far.
I should TBF add, though, that in your case you did consume your portion of pie very daintily and without prompting. But there's plenty left. Wonder if rhinoms is feeling hungry . . .

I doubt that.. I'm sure it's always be a lifelong dream for Buderus to swap the Aussie lifestyle and climate for the world famous City of Leeds..
I know where I'd rather live...

As Paul has said, at no point did I say it would be a bad signing for anyone. I'm just amazed that we had the money to get him, I would never have thought it was available.

think its more a case of us waiting for the right player to become available in a position we needed- which is what the club always said they were doing only the doom mongers chose not to believe them

Hey, I've been a doom monger.. but this signing speaks class to me. It's something McNamara said he'd do if the right player became available, and he's delivered. Well done Stevie M for delivering on your promise.

| whilst I still have misgivings about the signing for his off field issues, the fact his GF ( the victim) is standing by him says a lot.
Cant believe club would make the annnouncement without eing pretty certain he'll get a visa. Some definite news about a potential arrival date would be good.
absolute top class player and really lifts us to the next level

| I believe Deacon would be better suited than Jefferies to partner Bird. It certainly raises the potential of the Bulls in 2009. Will he have Visa issues?

I want Chesley B Sullenberger III to fly him in, just to be on the safe side.
