Has anyone actually realised that Okkels is "Slekko" backwards?
Pep's elk joke

When we signed Bayliss for a lot of money it seemed very odd, considering how strong we were in midfield at the time. Then we saw him play and it seemed even weirder.I think we’ve been scammed….
Technically, he's still our player? I sincerely hope the whole true story surfaces of how the lad ended up at North End.
Okkels may be pocketing a good wage but the blokes confidence must be in his boots.
Maybe Aberdeen are covering his wages but his form is most likely just going to get worse.
Ideally he could do with dropping a division or 2 , getting some successful game time and we can move him on or else we are stuck with an unhappy out of form player till his contract runs out.
A proper mess….
Well he's playing against Elgin City from the 4th tier of Scottish football at the weekend...
1st time I've really seen Okkels for any length of time & judging by that, now more than ever, PR needs to justify why we signed the lad.
He looks absolutely hopeless & that's being kind.

The Curious Case of Jeppe Okkels.
When he signed, I had high hopes for the lad and his numbers for Elfsborg looked quite decent. Although we all wanted Wallem of the two. Looks like I was wrong along with a few others.
Alas! Poor Jeppe, it just hasn't worked out for one reason (position) and another (tactics). Can't comment on his ability because we haven't seen him play a length of games nor him being match fit.
Ridsdale had better have a bloody good answer, to the fans and the board, why £1.7m was spent on a player who is our 2nd most expensive player ever and whom cannot get a game here. Based upon this, Ridsdale's position should now be untenable.
I bet he regrets signing for us. Another 2 1/2 years of bench warming at best. Unless he performs the most amazing Lazarus impression.
Easily in our Top 6 Worst Transfers of All Time due to cost.
In no real order...
Bayliss
K Nicholls
Ashbee
Trotman

Okkels
When he does eventually get quizzed about it unfortunately he's had plenty of time to get his story straight which will no doubt conclude it wasn't his fault.
Like he blamed Alex over a transfer once he'd left, my money is on him blaming Lowe.When he does eventually get quizzed about it unfortunately he's had plenty of time to get his story straight which will no doubt conclude it wasn't his fault.
