Looks good in the air and takes a good penalty. 

Cannot wait to see him in yellow and black stripes!

Sheridan to co-host Phoenix City?

get him on!!

Here's the Rudan/Sheridan press conference:

Cillian Sheridan Press Conference

Saw him with Biffy Clyro in Auckland last year.

Couldn't be happier that he's back and joined us

Thats a good Chris mas present.

A goal every three games in quite a few of his stints. That's a pretty decent ratio.

Him & Kopa only briefly crossed paths on the park in Poland, from what I can see. One match Sheridan played 90 mins, Kopa came on in injury time, finishing 0-0. Other match, Kopa played 90 mins, Sheridan came on 62nd minute, with Sheridan's team scoring only goal of the match with a few minutes to go.

bring back the mini vuvuselas for Cillian In The Name

It took me a while to figure out Rudan's tactics:  to have enough players on the park who can understand Polish cursing when Kurto starts swearing at them from behind.  Kopa is a native speaker, Sheridan had two seasons in the less-than-cosmopolitan Polish provincial city of Bialystok so he picked up lots already. And even Taylor is bound to understand some Polish cursing (assuming he ever needed plumbing work done on his house in UK).

Yes pro footballers are known for using their downtime, to study a 2nd language or learn fine art painting.

Not just play FIFA 19, and date pop stars.

Bialystok? That's where Esperanto was invented. In 1888 it was part of the Russian Empire and had 4 major languages (Polish, Russian, German, Yiddish) and an eye doctor called Zamenhof thought a neutral language would solve a lot of problems.

Not to mention their most famous son

It's a hole.

Thanks for the pronunciation tip, was 100% going to pronounce that wrong. 

He looks and sounds like a real character 

If this big boy has game then he will prove to be a marketing bonzana

Frommers seem to agree...

While Biaystok's blend of classical attractions, like an Old Town, interspersed with Communist-era structures does yield unexpectedly enjoyable explorations, you don't need to budget much time for the city itself. Instead, use it as your base and allocate time for visiting the points of interest outside the city.

I liked Olsztyn when I visited in 2008.  So much transition in Poland.

Watched him play a few times at Argyle while Rory was gaining WC qualification glory.  Didn't think much of him then but seems to have kicked on a bit and found his scoring boots although his level of late is probably closer to League 1 then Championship football.  

Will he force Burns to the bench or lead to a new formation from Rudes?

Not the be all and end all, but his FIFA rating of 68 ranks him as a damn good striker for League One standard, pretty good for the Ekstraklasa, and middling in the Championship. Definitely hope his performances reflect that

Listened to his podcast. 

You probably have to be an Irish football fan to get the most out of it.

Best on at least 1.3x speed, as he's not the quickest talker.

Cant wait to see some headed goals from him. Very nice aerial threat surely. Look at his goal stats on wikipedia, as someone mentioned he looked to find his scoring boots on the last few seasons.

A champion too, sure he won trophies in Bulgaria and Cyprus but that's gotta mean something in terms of maintaining a winning mentality in the squad.

If he doesn't talk fast is he even Irish???

Probably making the fookin effort to fookin edit out the fookin swear words.

get Roy off Pens, this guy hammers them in

By the way who was the last person to wear number 7 top for us, was it Ljuljič?  Before that? 

Whale oil beef hooked

I think the last person of any real significance to wear it was Bertos, wasn't he? Unless I have it horribly wrong.

Gui Finkler and King Kenny

Thanks 

question I have is why we've only offered him a contract until the end of this season? and then why the hell would he accept it?

Oh boy.. I was way off.

Do we know that we didn't offer a longer contract?

Not sure. Makes sense for us to see how he goes here before committing long-term though. Also makes sense for him to come check it out here given he was being pushed out of the club he was at.

currently in winter break..maybe relates to end of season in Poland?

He could always end up being the second coming of Jeffery Sarpong, and if that’s the case, we will only have to deal with him for half a season. If he’s good, then we can renew his contract.

And why would he accept it? A short paid OE, and if he's confident in his skills then he can prove ve his value and ask for it ons renewal talks. 

Seems like a win win.
