in the same way is buderus here because he wants to be or because he wants to op up his pension fund whilst on the sick

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

But are you not one of the people on this board who would happily bring Leon Pryce.

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?

T&A says he should be here by the end of the month. Fingers crossed.

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

Knowing Odsal in Feb he could probably land on the pitch!

If he can turn his hand to rhino-beating then he's in for mine.
