Walters in...

[The Bedlington Terrier]

I think this is really shrewd business.

Jon is strong, fit, proven and links up with his Eire teammates.

Good stuff...

The perfect fit. Years of Premier League experience and while not a prolific goalscorer , he knows where the net is and will be a handful for opposition teams.

Despite his age , I wouldn't put him in the category of a player happy to see out the rest of his career. He will be hungry for games and more international caps .

I agree totally donz. He has a good chance of playing in the World Cup Finals next year, having played in all 8 international games last season so he will want to be playing as much as possible.
He will be a big influence in our squad with a wealth of experience to share with the other players.

I've always liked Walters because he always seems to be looking for a goal.

Looks like he's lost a bit of weight, too.

I'll keep it unanimous, this is one very good signing. He'll do for me.

[Primitive]

Yep. Super signing. Well done SD and MG.

Might seem far fetched but here we go...

Walters in...

...been solid for Stoke over the years, and well liked for it....for 3mil - he's a hard worker and can fill in around the field.

...seems that many at stoke are sad to see him go...something akin to seeing an old reliable car with all the memories it carried - sold on - the word is - he was perhaps likely to be spending more time on the bench than on the field so wanted the shift.

can only but wait and see where he fits in...what he can do, but am not expecting miracles....as I guess the move was either to us or the Championship.

Anyway.....Welcome to him.

[In Dyche We Trust]

He's not for me- and why he gets a 2 year deal ahead of Boyd, I cannot fathom out. SD must have another striker up his sleeve as this old guy wont be starting many games this season or the next. Lets hope the Forest kid is on his way, he's quick at least if a little short on PL experience.
