We knew Micky wanted to try and sign another player on Friday. There were rumours about more wee Scots, Finnish trialists and Danny Tiatto.

But no-one prepared us for the text message alert that announced we'd signed one of the players City fans love to hate!

Micky has gone and signed former Germany international midfielder Steffen Freund on loan from German Bundesliga side Kaiserslautern until the end of the season.

Yes, the man who cheated and dived and whined his way to victory against us in the Worthington Cup in 1999. Bitter, us? Just a bit.

Micky understated things somewhat when he said,

"He is possibly not everyone's favourite but I am not
interested in being everyone's favourite - just staying in the Premiership.

"Steffen fits in perfectly with us here and what we are trying to do. People will probably draw comparisons with Savo (Robbie Savage) and fans love him or hate him.

"If he plays against your team, you hate him but if he plays with your side, he's a favourite. But, like I said, I'm not interested in winning popularity."

Freund fell out with Kaiserslautern saying there was no team spirit. Well, he'll certainly get that. Hopefully by now Tim Flowers will have cut his trousers up and tested that famous German sense of humour!

We got over Speedie signing for us...let's get behind Steffen if he's in that blue shirt.
