Im guessing Lyden's signed.

Lyden signing I’m guessing. Not one that particularly excites me or seems like the top priority but could work out very nicely if he can stay fit and find form at his age.

Australia Captain Mark Milligan :)

 

[MK Shrimper]

We've bought TimTams for the West Teabar?

 

[Shrimper]

So, he won't be available on international weekends?

Could be in a pickle if Demetriou, Kyprianou, Milligan and Bishop get called up.

Welcome to the club though, if he is as good as our last Aussie, he'll do well.

Australian friend of mine says “Good in A League so I’d say average Championship or good League One player, at the tail end of his career though”.

Seems very much an alternative to Lyden and this one is a bit more exciting and proved quality. With the plan to get him in the coaching set-up it’s just what we need.

Not exactly our top priority but seemingly an improvement in quality and provides cover at the back where we definitely need it. Could help the likes of Dru and Kiernan if Bond sees him playing there. Kind of experience and leadership we’ve been missing in the middle.

Is Colin Murphy writing for the website again?

 

[MK Shrimper]

I hope he's not another Turner. Old defender with old legs looking for one more payday.

Wow, have we actually signed the captain of a (**scrolls down the FIFA rankings**) top 50 international side?

I was going to say a Lyden signing would be a bit meh and I couldn't see how he'd fit into the side as we surely couldn't have such an inexperienced central midfield as him alongside Dru. This is the opposite.

We all said leadership was something that was lacking last season but if he's genuinely the current Australian captain (and didn't just take the armband once in a friendly) that's some signing.

Seems to be a versatile player too, capable of DM and CB

I see he has been sold the pipe dream of the new stadium too. Looks a pretty good signing though, in a position we needed.

what a curveball signing this is!

on paper great experience and leadership skills so hopefully he has the fitness to manage league one. If so this could be a very astute signing.

 

[LennySUFC]

Happy with this. Like the idea of the coaching role being pre-agreed given his vast experience.

 

[FarmdogSUFC]

This could turn out to be a very good signing. Played Bondy
