I read a bit where Rudi said it was playing in front of Robbie that enabled him to play the way he did , as Robbie swept up his defensive responsibilities. Robbie has his technical weaknesses but he grafted. Sorry but Rudi hardly played in front of Neilson, he was rarely on the right. Even Neilsons biggest fan, I’m not he was hopeless, can in their wildest dreams not admit that playing in front of and with Takis Fysass can compare to linking up with Neilson ffs 🙈.

The overuse of the word "very" in such situations rips my Granny's knitting but also, its overuse in our language in general, e.g. "very painful;" where it should really be the likes of "extremely" painful.

Terms agreed just awaiting confirmation so he can fly across. Will have to quarantine for 2 weeks though when he arrives by the sound of it. I can't say I remember watching him but I do remember the name.
