So who are we signing to fire us to the Premier League?

[Nottingham Fox]

Mr Neville said on the moan in there could be someone here in time for the game against Southampton. He went on to say they almost closed a deal a few days ago but it was not done yet.

Thank feck it wasn't Matt Derbyshire.
If they showed that match in Africa, he might be getting some food parcels!

A closer unit with 10 men and a shite keeper? Plus now I've watched the highlights again, I'm pretty sure that Koncheski was barged over in the box before the goal.

eeerrr... NINE men and a shite keeper.

You are correct, I should perhaps have put "including", in fact I should have.

Ooh I'm intrigued. Who, who, who?

Santa Cruz is the last name linked... but I doubt it's him. Maynard? Seems to be only one we know about... but is it someone that hasn't been mentioned yet?


When he said we'd almost closed a deal... was it referring to the player that could be here by Southampton?

 

[Blue Maniac]

It really hope it's Hume. He wasn't shit.

 

[Matt_B]

o assumed we missed out on the one a few days ago and this was a new one

 

[Graz]

I'd imagine we'll end up with Yakubu on loan plus someone like Le Fondre.

I'd be delighted with that personally.

 

[Miles Away]

At this point Le Fondre is well worth a punt I'd have thought.

As backup, maybe, but I'd be worried about our lead, big name striker having to make a 2 division step up.

I'm not sure a big name is what is needed...he'd compete with Nugent, Vassell and Schlupp.

 

[MerseyFox]

I think we need a striker that can actually challenge a defender to header the ball! We tend to hit a lot of long balls forward, especially Mills, with very little effect.

After all the faffing, I'm not sure the "fans" would accept anything else.

Also I'm not convinced he can make the leap and be any better than Schlupp or Waghorn.

Anybody who does not require a white stick could be better than Waghorn.

 

[keeperno1]

Noticed last night no Michael Owen on bench for united, seems to be 5th in line for a game, wonder if sven fancies a cheeky loan bid?

 

[Yorkshire Vixen]

Is Jason Roberts getting any games at Blackburn??? Know he wasn't very happy last season????

 

[Durham Fox]

He's injured. I'm surprised you didn't assume that.

 

[Blue Maniac]

He's injured. I'm surprised you didn't assume that.

But it's fun to pick names out of a hat for no reason.

Apparently.

Played regularly towards the end of last season if I remember correctly. I think he's already bagged a goal for them this season too. I'd definitely have him here though.
