Because someone shared the tweet he made before regarding worral . He blocked me and I am still blocked its just a different profile with same picture
Seems a crazy move over one tweet - to set up a brand new account.
What's the URL?

Why would he be the one to set up a new profile if he blocked you?
@ridgwellandy is 1 account and the other is @andyridgwell

Probably better to just not engage with these muppets on Twitter. It’s obvious it’s fake.

It probably existed at a time, but not now.
What I think happened is whoever had the account changed the username to something else. That meant the username no longer existed.

Read the Harris to Sunderland thread Colburn. It appears A N Other has accompanied Harris to the SofL but he is a mystery.

Angers released a statement saying they deny that Santamaria is signing for Freiburg. Probably nothing as, you know, foreign, but worth a mention.

I can see this one and the source is that ExWestHamEmployee guy who is pretty reliable as these types go.
I was impressed by Holland in Oxford's game against Newcastle in the FA Cup, looked one of the best players on the pitch and scored a good goal. He's a left winger though, the right footed, cut inside variety so would provide a different option off the bench. Clearly we had scouts at Oxford as per the interest im Branagan so maybe he was flagged up too. Wouldn't imagine he'd cost loads given he's not played at a higher level yet and he'd be happy to start the season on the bench as it'd be a step up for him.

In Villa's case it suggests they have learnt nothing from last season and their signings are somewhat random - sign good players, but not necessarily good for the style of football they wish to play.

As for Holland - is we are banking in Brady and JBG being fit then this kind of signing wouldn’t be half bad - if he is cheap and has as much potential as the West Ham fans say then it won’t be half bad to back the others up and take his chances when they come along. I do think Brady need pushing you get back to his best or possibly move him on and bring in another winger of more experience on top of Holland although It’s usually agent chatter when so many clubs names get thrown in the hat together

Nathan Holland somehow reminds me of when we signed Zavon Hines. If it's true I certainly hope our scouts have picked him up on stats and watching him rather than just picking him up because he's out of contract.

We got Zavon because of that West Ham scout Eddie signed up who he thought was fantastic.

Wilson from Bournemouth is hardly random, they haven’t got any who can score at present

Talk on the Wolves forum that we've offered 3 million for Ryan Bennett. No idea if there's any truth in that but wouldn't be a bad option as a backup centre half.

Certainly a good shout. Spent a period on loan at Leicester recently as back up so would be exactly what we'd need.

Yep he’s available and has not been offered a new contract like Fuchs and Morgan have just signed.
He was on loan to Leicester where apparently there was a £5m clause included that they would buy him if he made a certain number of appearances but he hardly played so went back to Wolves at the end of the season.
If we are interested I think this means Ben Mee is likely to be miss a number of weeks or even months with his thigh injury and SD is looking at someone experienced who can slot straight in.

The CB issue beggars belief considering we have what was such a hot prospect contracted to us and we are paying him, and if we were linked to someone who was a club captain , England U21 Cb left sided player, we would be asking the board to break the bank for him. I really hope it is something that definitely could not be sorted out over a frank discussion.

I’d rather sign Bennett (a clear backup) for £3m than spend whatever large sum Forest want for Worrall. Bennett is an experienced player but one you’d think is happy to sit on the bench/step in when needed. Ideal for us and will do a similar job to Pieters at left back who has also proven a good backup.
Allows us to put any ‘real’ money we have towards a winger and a midfielder.
