When asked about testing himself against the best teams like Chelsea and Man U. "I don't care about the other, these big teams, Huddersfield is a big team". I love this bloke already I love the siege mentality that's being created here at the moment.

Did he also say "we will kick them"? Yes! I think he had been talking to Hoggy at the photo shoot and has taken the team thing and Hoggy talking about doing his job and kicking Man U midfielders literally I loved Williams comment on Hogg "Jesus Christ! I'm glad to be on his team now" 😂

"I don't care about the other big teams... we should not have fear about anyone else we will do what we have to do. We will kick these teams". Maybe the last bit is lost in translation but you can see he fits perfectly into Wagners vision of the team. Don't ruin it for us, he meant kick, KICK!

It s quite obvious why it ms racist and I noticed you were careful just to mention the white collar when you replied there.But you said he would look the same upside down.that means all the colours on him would be the same turned upside down,IE when turned upside down the brown would be above the white as with the shoes but it wouldn't be because the white of his collar would be above the brown of his face so the white and brown would be the other way around so not the exact same upside down. Come off it . It was a fair comment . Part of referring to him looking the same upside down included his skin colour and if the colours would be in a different order as I put and for some reason when you replied then you didn t mentio the brown of his face just the white of his collar you know your self your supposed joke when it s possible to make jokes about so many other things that don t have to involve skin colour included you know yourself that your supposed joke was partly to do wth a reference to his skin colour as his skin colour was obviously part of everything being in the same order when you turned him upside down which they wouldn t be and for him to look the same upside down that would include all the colours in his appearance there being in the same order upside down as him stood up there in the photo & you not including mention of his skin colour there just mentioning only one thing in his appearance there the white collar of the shirt he s wearing is another give away you were covering up there knowing if you mentioned the colour of his skin which is a part of all the colours in his appearance there being in the same order upside down that would be giving the game away that your joke was meant as a reference to his skin colour . Yes of course I was referring to his skin colour.. What is wrong with that? He's quite obviously not white! But I'm still not sure how that makes me racist? It was a lighthearted remark I would have made regardless of skin colour. Anyway I'm done with this petty argument we've just broken our transfer record with this guy which I'm delighted with despite me being "racist" due to his colour.. UTT! Why are you even responding to this weapon?

My opinion ( teds take ;-) ) .... mounie is our gamble signing .. mounie comes good we will be good Fully agree with this. Also if he comes good we'll have a player worth a MASSIVE amount of money next summer. Pace, power, finishing, if he shows all that in the Prem we will be getting offered ridiculous figures for him next year. I am stunned at how much we have spent so far. What an amazing time to be a Town fan!

Maybe the last bit is lost in translation but you can see he fits perfectly into Wagners vision of the team. I like that translation. Im sticking with it.. 'beating other teams' you can take how you like.. narrow the tunnel at home so he can get closer and 'menance' the opposition properly is the next move? play football with some real steel behind it?? why not?

I think we might sign another keeper .. and the keeper outlay was comparatively small .. what I mean is we have spaffed a lot of money for a lad who is relatively new on the block and could be anything .. can't bloody wait to see him play !

At 4:12 "My best quality is my head game" could have maybe been worded slightly different, will have made a few girls weak at the knees with a different interpretation.

I like it too. Would be nice to see us roughing up some of the big boys this season. With the likes of Williams and Hoggy in the middle and this lad up top we might see just that. Plus we might make up next seasons transfer kitty in booking fines!

Great signing, but my god that interview is bad, had to turn it off after 20 seconds. What was wrong with it? I thought his English was pretty good, better than Coleman's anyway. Not him, the interviewer. The first 30 seconds were just shoehorned "get him to say he likes the kit and make sure you mention the sponsor as much as possible". Combine that with the ability to produce videos in stereo STILL (how is that even possible), and it's all just very tin pot.

I don't think we'll sign another keeper, Ted. I'm assuming Lössl will be starting; if we tried to bring another goalie in (Johnstone has been mentioned) he'd expect to start as well, otherwise why would he come to just sit on the bench? Coleman is an adequate backup.

I think it depends on whether it is felt Coleman is mentally strong enough to step up when and if needed .. we signed the lad from league one as a championship understudy .. huge huge leap for him ..

I don't like dark chocolate, I find Bournville a little bitter for my taste. Now cfromhx that MUST be racist? Please block me. I'm not saying you're racist, but you're certainly missing out Sapphire. It's a far superior product than milk chocolate.

My opinion ( teds take ;-) ) .... mounie is our gamble signing .. mounie comes good we will be good Massive risk, there have been lots of 10-15M strikers that have come to the premier league and scored under 5 goals in their first season. If we hit on one that scores goals it could be a massive payday when he ultimately gets sold pretty quickly for big bucks.... But he looks like the kind of player that if we can create chances for him, he will stick them away. Depoitre could take some pressure off him, he is more one of those strikers that come in abit more under the radar and turn out to be class. Not sure where this leaves wells, we probably need 3 strikers, but knowing we are going to be up against it, I cant see him getting many games and he is in the last year of his contract.

Spare a thought for Bradford fans today. As we smash our transfer record once again by buying up some of the best young talent in Europe, they've just secured Jake Reeves on a free from AFC Wimbledon.

Agree, big leap for Coleman, but he did OK last season. Know nothing of Lössl and if he has a dodgy start then perhaps DW might look into another goalie (end of transfer window/emergency loan?), but we're not there yet and we have to hope and trust he's going to do well. Coleman will play in the League Cup, probably FA Cup etc.

I came to that conclusion from what I saw with my own eyes. Plenty on here preferred Coleman to Ward! Coleman is an adequate replacement right now, in my opinion.

Those Illingworth and Gregory blokes are getting some right overtime in this week 😊 They've not had time to do the day to day job of Contracting. Thought I'd not seen any I&g vans about a lately.

Now confirmed on the BBC page, if not already mentioned. www.bbc.com/sport/football/40503864"We have met and I know he is a great character," Wagner added. "At just 22 years old, he is only going to improve too. Given what he is already capable of, that is very exciting."EDIT: Feck me I'm slow!

If we can get some good crosses into the box, Steve's fantastic heading capablities should come into its own.

Mbappe 15 goals in successful team = £125m Mounie 14 goals in struggling team = £11m Good old Yorkshire value for money. Accept any transfer is a gamble but from my perspective this is a coup! Well done Town. i think the main thing on young players who come with great expectations is time. And knowing Davids manta that is what the lad and all the new lads will get.Patience is needed and fans need to realise that.
