Fair play to Roy. Four years though? Not sure about that, but the rest is ace. I hope he comes back next summer.

 

Read the thing properly, James, read it properly.

 

Apologies.

They can fuck right off if they think Sami is staying there after his playing days are done. Cheeky bastards. He's ours, you're just borrowing him.

What the fuck?

[RedinSweden]

I would have loved him back this summer but next summer he'll be 37. I have no idea what his coaching credentials are though. Getting him back as a coach won't right the wrong that was letting him go.

Damn you and your facts. I thought I had the right bait and a good spot near a feeding run.

You are correct. He was offered another contract but didn't want to sit on the bench.
