New striker signing this weekend...

CharltonByBlood said:

As I posted my source still will not reveal a name as I said last night there has been no real concrete link..

However he did say there WAS no real link until today so we'll find out soon,

To me that more or less says it's George Tucudean but again .. I'm in the dark with this one

Your source sounds like he hasnt a scooby. ;--)

It's 100% George, midday i got the word.

He sounds like a step up from polish Pete who is rumoured to be off to St Truiden. This sounds like it's all about getting network players in the right places for them and the clubs. I trust that if pre season reveals a problem upfront (or in goal) then we buy or borrow the right players to complete the squad and give the new signings and head coach the best possible chance of putting us top half by end September.
It's so important to hit the ground running in the Championship as I'm sure good results will help the squad find their feet even quicker.

Also where is belguim?!

I thought if he was from Romania, that made him a rumour. ....

Anyone ticking the players off a list as they board the plane to Spain

Prepare for the The Premiership ladies and gentlemen (piggy - eat your heart out)

I've heard that the new striker has been delayed at Calais. He's trying to avoid French customs and find a lorry that's heading to SE7

How to upset the pc brigade in one sentence!

Pete Finch will have a field day with this lot in his excitable way. :-)

It should make for interesting listening. I hope his false teeth are ready for it.

I struggled enough last weekend with the Hungarian names..... I have asked Bob to make sure we get someone with a name I can actually say... I suggested Darren Bent.
Lord help me....

Sounds a bit like playing that children's favourite game( well, in the Dark Ages when I was a gal) - Happy Families.

Hopefully we'll be the one to complete our "set" satisfactorily before 9th August.

Eidur played under Peeters maybe?

Eidur was great, but the word was is the important part of that assessment. Not sure he would improve us that much.

He is usually quite itk but he was wrong few times last year

It's more what he can offer in.the changing room and around a very young squad
