CONFIMRED - Deniss Rakels

[Pepe the Horseman]

Can't play tomorrow apparently Fold the cup.

[Sutekh]

My favourite goal of his

He's not going to do that from the bench ..

That's presuming anyone has the bottle to tell him he's not playing (though if I was Brian I'd delegate that to HRK).

[Extended-Phenotype]

Can't play tomorrow apparently Fold the cup.

Oh what a surprise.

Probably a 'language issue'. Best send him back to Latvia so he can improve on his English.

[LWJ]

Can't play tomorrow, international clearance hasn't gone through.

[leon]

Can't play tomorrow, international clearance hasn't gone through.

Well I'm not fcuking telling him.

[VOR]

He is Latvian but plays in the Polish League. I would have thought with a question mark against the last player we signed from the Polish League (Orlando Sa ) we should be wary of the standard of players coming out of that league.

What exactly has Sa done wrong?

Behave like a twat?

[Winston Smith]

I once heard that Deniss Rakels drank a small bottle of his own blood pre match in an effort to boost his performance.

[Royal Ginger]

Can't play tomorrow, international clearance hasn't gone through.

If he's in the crowd the West Stand might actually be intimidating.

[leon]

I showed his photo to jnr leon I - she looked shocked.

[AthleticoSpizz]

Now show it to your wife

[leon]

Now show it to your wife

I did she said he looked evil. Which I think is a trifle harsh.

[RG7Fan]

He's not here for the cup - he's here for the Prem push

[RG7Fan]

My favourite goal of his

Like Vydra should have been but £2m cheaper, no wonder the 'scouts' wanted him ...

If it works out and he gets us to the playoffs then that will be the best £400k ever spent - even if he doesn't stay.

He's not here for the cup - he's here to skin you and wear your scrotum as a hat

I once heard that Deniss Rakels drank a small bottle of his own blood pre match in an effort to boost his performance.

Wasn't it tiger blood? And wasn't he winning?

Sure the Thai's can sort the first for him. Not sure about the latter.

[RG7Fan]

the more I see of this guy, the more I like him

He looks like a right Psycho - should be fun!

Lol - I'm certainly not arguing ...

[RG7Fan]

Has he got some strange contact lenses in?

[sandman]

They say all men are created equal but when you look at Deniss Rakels and you look at everyone else, you see that just isn't true.

[Nameless]

He wasn't created. He emerged from a bubbling swamp in the middle of the Latvian wilderness having slept for a thousand years waiting until the Royals needed him....
