    Interesting that a few have said it’s a great signing perhaps without seeing him play.
    Certainly won’t have seen him play in the cship
    It’s a lot of money that’s for sure and a big fanfare.

    I’m not trying to put a dampener on today, it’s just that I don’t post hugely negative comments when we lose just one match.
    Quite a few on here do.
    I trust MT,s long term vision even if SN doesn’t shine vs Norwich and I’m not sure that can be said for everyone

    Well done Tony for trusting the Manager and giving him the tools to do his job.

    Not bothered about other teams, I just thought I’d never live to see RUFC spend £1m on a player.

    If it is indeed true (it seems a shame if it is and we don't at least acknowledge the milestone) and he turns out the be anything like the first million pound player then he'll do alright. 44 years on and in a way ironic that it's happened just after Trevor Francis' death.

    Welcome aboard Sam, good luck.The pressure on the lad knowing the staff at ASD lighting will now not be getting a pay rise will be massive.

    He’s had some experience in championship even if he didn’t score, also MT knows his style and thinks he’s got something we need
    Hopefully it pays off
    Think some just think it’s a good signing looking at his stats even if it was with Exeter

    What do you see in his stats MT?
    As I said earlier, no better than JJ's but more than 5 X the price.....
