Grella in, Al-Habsi not, More to come

By: Jimmy | August 26th, 2008

This evening BRFC have confirmed the signing of 29 year old midfielder Vince Grella from Torino on a four-year deal. This newest signing is just one in a list of signings Ince has been rimoured to want to pull off before the deadline day. Going to be honest here, don’t know a thing about the guy. Just know he is a CM with holding capabilities. Anythings better than the Axe right? Right.

In other news, Notlob has shut down our pursuit of Ali Al-Habsi. He was supposed to be brought in as a backup to Robbo, one with decent Prem experience. I can’t really disagree either, it would have been a shroud move. Oh well, not too heartbroken about the loss.

Some other rumors still yet to be followed through on: Andrews from MK Dons. I don’t wanna talk about that one, it makes my stomach hurt. Jermaine Pennant from L’Pool I’d like him to add some pace down the wing, somehting different. Not a replacement for Bents but could make it work. Emo can’t keep playing RM though, he’s not good enough there and a much better RB. Also Stephen Ireland from the blue team in Manchester rumored t be a target for Ince. Lots of stuff could still happen, we’ll keep you posted with all the latest.

    You guys have got a pretty solid player in Grella. He is a solid, if unspectacular player that works very hard in the center of the pitch but doesn’t commit too many fouls either (I can’t recall him getting sent off at all last year.) Decent passer of the fall, but it is not his main attribute.

    That’s pretty good news, Cheers for that Nick. I think we need a solid holding player and it sounds like we got one in Vince.
