I prefer Stockholm.
Reading academy, signed for Luton, solid presence in the Championship for a few season, did OK in a failed Prem bid with 2 goals scored. For League One, he should be great.
Quotes from one of the Luton message boards say that he is better than anything they have got, including McGuiness ,that he would be a very good signing for us and that he is too good for league 1Quote:

A few injuries in recent years but has played his last few seasons a few levels above where we are now, with some plaudits.
Well I haven't been there for a while but I used to enjoy Raymond's Review Bar back in the late 70's :thumbup:
Yes, in a word. Played in a promotion side, 27 PL games, made 20 starts in Ligue 1 last season and has played both Ligue 1 games this year. How on Earth we've got him I don't know
Showing your age thereQuote:

crazy to go from playing PSG to Exeter cityQuote:

Does this have the potential to go wrong at the last minute?

Osho joined Auxerre in July 2024 on a one-year contract with an option of another two. They've obviously exercised that option and if he's coming here they're cashing in quickly. They're not a big club with crowds usually between 15,000 and 17,000, and have become a bit of a yo-yo club in recent seasons. This deal would probably represent good business for them.Quote:

Luton fans seem a bit pissed off that they didn’t go in for him

Yes that is the thread I referred to earlier.Quote:

However, where he is mentioned it is positive.
Have we got him though? Until the club announce it, I wouldn't believe a word!Quote:

about Osho which it seems to me offers a clue as to why he is willing to sign for us.
I'd say you'.re right in that it represents good business for Auxerre, but, unless he's gone back a hell of a lot as a player in the last few months, it looks like a great signing by us
Hopefully, BBM is telling any prospective signings like this one that the club has no intention of hanging around at this level for more than a season, so a signing like this would be similar to what Birmingham were doing last season when they were signing players who looked too good for League One.Quote:

I get the impression there is definitely money available to BBM but he knows he will have to spend it wisely in terms of fees and wages, so he's being very careful with his targets. Instead of signing a host of new players, I think he believes he can operate with a relatively small squad provided those he does bring in have genuine quality.
auxerre is a pretty small burgundy town, I'm sure I would find it a brilliant place to live these days, but in my mind 20s I'd probably be wanting something a bit more lively.
according to. various dubious internet sources the auxerre total wage bill is something between 10-15 million euros a year which must be the same ballpark as we are these days.
In Auxerre's first match this season, a 1-0 win over Loreint, he had the lowest rating of the back four players. Someone called Francisco Sierralta was MOTM with 7.8. He was subbed at half time in the 3-1 defeat at Nice, not sure if it was an injury.
Refreshing to know we’re not the only ones who smashed a ton of money on junk as soon as we were promoted to the premiership and then continue to make poor transfers the season afterQuote:

Also started in both of Auxerre's Ligue 1 fixtures this season and is willing to drop to League One. Seems a coup to me.
our last coup was Callum Chambers, who has 181 top flight appearances and 3 England capsQuote:

Unless Auxerre is a shithole why does he want to leave just after a year from arriving there?Quote:
