    Matt Smith - really impressed

    Obviously it's what happens on the pitch that counts, but how refreshing to have an articulate guy with more than just a football brain. Haven't had many of those since Keith Sanderson back in the day and can be a real advantage. Really pleased with this transfer window and medium / longer term looks really promising. Still a few nervous weeks ahead as it will take time for the squad to gell.

        Clarke Carlisle was the last one (gulp) but totally agree he sounds like he knows what he's doing.

          Was a very good player back in the day. Him and Falco were also big old lumps who were decent.

            I know they're paid to be footballers not mathematicians, but on the subject of the OP, Ravel comes across as about as intelligent as a door stop in his interview.

            That said, he's the 23 year old millionaire so pretty sure he's doing something right
            You should never underestimate the predictability of stupidity.

                Ready made replacement for Lee Hoos.

                Nothing quite like bringing the youngsters through.

                    Last one? We've got Nedum Onuoha...

                      He's been at Fulham too long ,no advantage to us using big words !! No articulation will save him from lack of goals. Good luck smith!!

                              Well one can add Iain Dowie to the growing list, what you cant with Keith Sanderson is the last amateur to play first team football for the R's.
