Welcome, Sead ;wave ;scarf

I believe he's the lovechild of Hakan Sukur and Ana Ivanovic but lets keep it under our hats for the moment just in case I am wrong ;wink

Interesting article on ESPN regarding our new youth signing.

TL;DR - He can play central or either wing, very skillful, both footed. It also seems he's taking his career extremely seriously, doing regular extra training on running and drills, made serious efforts in the gym to bulk up ready for the summer move for the past few months, and in fact turned down Inter Milan as he wants a club where game time is more likely. He compares himself to Ronaldinho apparently. Sounds good!

However the title ESPN have gone with is 'Sead Haksabanovic to follow Freddie Ljungberg's footsteps at West Ham' - I fervently hope not!!

I just watched the highlights of this game and the one thing that I'll never forget is the referee awarding a corner and then changing his mind and awarding a penalty instead for handball.
No points for guessing that it was us that were penalised. Can anyone else remember a ref changing his mind about a decision?

Nurse, can I have my anti-paranoia pills please. ;weep

just because we're paranoid doesn't mean that everybody hasn't got it in for us ;puzzled

I read about a ref ruling out a goal at one end, then going back and awarding a penalty at the other end based on the video referee. Instead of making it 2-0 the game was suddenly 1-1
